Research direction

Start by reading the linked event-loop documentation and tracing how the do_one_iteration integration behaves in ipykernel 7.x. Identify the supported entry point or best-practice approach for custom GUI integration, then document it with a clear example and verification steps for the latest version.

Description

Issue:
As explained here, I wrote a custom GUI integration using do_one_iteration that worked in the past. Version 7 breaks this without providing an alternative in the documentation. How can I integrate a custom event loop in the latest version? What are the best practices?
