## Why it's here

Surfaced by the "asyncio non-blocking stdin read" search query. Off-target/tangential: this is a Rust forum discussing Rust's own stdin-handling APIs, not Python or asyncio — logged honestly as a near-miss rather than silently dropped, per this archive's quality bar of not pretending every search result was on-topic.
