refactor: async support for cli

typer officially does not support asyncio, there's a thread about it
tiangolo/typer#88

essentially we are using a decorator based workaround which has been
adapted from a solution posted by @gilcu2 on his comment
tiangolo/typer#88

note that this requires the use of asyncer which uses a previous version
of anyio, i am willing to live with this for now until an official solution
is published by typer

+""" Asyncio patches for Typer
+
+There's a thread open on the typer repo about this:
+    https://github.com/tiangolo/typer/issues/88
+
+Essentially, Typer doesn't support async functions. This is an issue
+post migration to async, @csheppard points out that there's a work
+around using a decorator on the click repository:
+https://github.com/tiangolo/typer/issues/88#issuecomment-612687289
+
+@gilcu2 posted a similar solution on the typer repo:
+https://github.com/tiangolo/typer/issues/88#issuecomment-1732469681
+
+this particular one uses asyncer to run the async function in a thread
+we're going in with this with the hope that the official solution is
+closer to this than a decorator per command.
