free_adobe_read_context shuts down a tokio runtime from a DLL-unload / atexit destructor, which isn't safe during ExitProcess

After importing a file in Audition (26.5), when I close the application, the audition.exe and crashpad_handler.exe processes remain running forever.

 

AI reports the problem to be an Adobe bug:


free_adobe_read_context shuts down a tokio runtime from a DLL-unload / atexit destructor, which isn't safe during ExitProcess. It should use a shutdown with a timeout (tokio's shutdown_background or shutdown_timeout), or skip that cleanup when the process is already shutting down.

Repro:

Launch Audition
Import an .mp3 file
Close Audition
confirm these processes never end: 
audition.exe
crashpad_handler.exe
