Research direction

Start by compiling the provided Tokio and anyhow reproduction, then trace Selector::parse and the CowRcStr and NonNull/Rc types implicated in the Send error. Done means the example compiles successfully in an async function without changing the reproduction's intended use.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
