Code prematurely exited when long running main.py executed

[jt000]

Please provide a clear and concise description of the bug along with logs

What are the steps to reproduce this issue?

1. Upload the following main.py to a connected pico (note: must be a main.py so it's auto-executed by .sr)

import asyncio

async def main():
    print("Starting the test...")
    await asyncio.sleep(120)
    print("Done with the test")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(main())

2. Execute .sr in the terminal

What happens?

After executing for about a minute, the program is terminated with the message "Interactive Soft Reset finished".

What were you expecting to happen?

The program should continue without an abnormal termination.

Any logs, error output, etc?

No logs. Would be nice if there were... Took me a very long time to determine this was due to this VSCode extension

Any other comments?

Appears to be a timeout somewhere in the call to PicoMpyCom.getInstance().sendCtrlD(...)

Which version of MicroPico are you using?

1.28.0
