Subject: [PATCH] Studio: don't apply nest_asyncio on plain CLI starts (breaks
 asyncio on Python 3.14+) (#7186)

* Studio: don't apply nest_asyncio on plain CLI starts (breaks asyncio on Python 3.14+)

* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks

for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci

* Skip nest_asyncio on Python 3.14+ so notebook and embedded Studio starts also work

* Tighten the nest_asyncio gate comment
