Research direction

Start with getstream/common/telemetry.py at span_request and the wrapper, then trace the call from getstream/base.py::_request_sync shown in the traceback. Reproduce the failure on Python 3.12.11 with getstream 2.5.3 and compare behavior with 2.4.1. Done means the video get_or_create operation no longer raises RuntimeError: generator didn't yield.

The getstream SDK (versions 2.5.x) throws a RuntimeError: generator didn't yield error when using Python 3.12.10 or later. The error occurs in the telemetry context manager wrapper during video call operations.

getstream Version: 2.5.3, 2.5.2 (confirmed broken)
Working Version: 2.4.1 (confirmed working)
Operating System: macOS (also reproduced in Docker with Python 3.12.11-bookworm)
Framework: FastAPI
