Is your feature request related to a specific problem?
It's not about a specific problem but about an improvement coming from the newer Python versions (3.14+).
Describe the Solution You'd Like
As of Python version 3.14 the Free GIL is considered stable but not enforced, we still have 3.14 with GIL. People will tend to use the Free GIL given the benefits of not having one thread running at once and it's important to support that behavior, as maybe ADK itself does not handle anything than asyncio is still required to check if there's a potential area of lacking support for when the user uses threads.
An clear example is people serving ADK flows through FastAPI/Uvicorn that might be supporting Free GIL but as this library does not is fully compatible they won't be able to extract the benefits upstream.
