Subject: [PATCH] Replace tokio sleep with background executor timer

The documentation examples in skills/gpui/references/async.md contain incorrect async patterns that would panic at runtime. The correct pattern is to use GPUI's `cx.background_executor().timer()` instead of tokio's sleep functions.
