Description
Bug report
Bug description:
asyncio.print_call_graph() stops at the first async gen in the await chain and silently drops all of the call stack below it
Repro:
import asyncio
async def deep():
await asyncio.Event().wait()
async def producer():
await deep()
yield 1
async def consumer():
async for _ in producer():
pass
async def main():
t = asyncio.create_task(consumer(), name='consumer')
await asyncio.sleep(0.05)
print(asyncio.format_call_graph(t))
asyncio.run(main())
Expected:
* Task(name='consumer', id=0x105be89b0)
+ Call stack:
| File '/Users/timofeiivankov/cpython/Lib/asyncio/locks.py', line 210, in async Event.wait()
| File '/Users/timofeiivankov/cpython/repro.py', line 4, in async deep()
| File '/Users/timofeiivankov/cpython/repro.py', line 7, in async generator producer()
| File '/Users/timofeiivankov/cpython/repro.py', line 11, in async consumer()
Actual:
* Task(name='consumer', id=0x105b089b0)
+ Call stack:
| File '/Users/timofeiivankov/cpython/repro.py', line 11, in async consumer()
Proposed fix: expose the wrapped generator as ag_gen and step over the wrapper through it
Have a fix ready for that

Research direction
Start with asyncio.format_call_graph() and the reproducer in the issue, including the async generator producer() and the consumer task. Check how the call graph traverses the await chain and compare its output with the expected stack. Done means the output retains frames below the async generator; linked PR gh-156984 indicates work is already underway.
