 # Fix AsyncIO Transport Cleanup and Netstat Dependency Issues
 
 ## Task Metadata
-- **Status**: backlog
+- **Status**: active
+- **Started**: 2025-07-25
 - **Priority**: high
 - **Estimated Effort**: 6-8 hours
 - **Dependencies**: None
 - **Labels**: bug, asyncio, python313, tdd
 
+## Progress
+- ✅ Started TDD implementation for AsyncIO transport cleanup and netstat dependency issues
+- ✅ Created TDD tests that initially FAILED to demonstrate both bugs existed
+- ✅ Implemented Python 3.13 compatible transport cleanup in subprocess_utils.py
+- ✅ Replaced netstat dependency with Python socket-based port checking in bundle.py
+- ✅ Verified all TDD tests now PASS after implementing fixes
+- ✅ Ran quality checks (black, ruff, mypy) - all passing
+- ✅ Created PR #42 with comprehensive fixes and test coverage
+- ✅ CI checks completed successfully - all critical tests passing in GitHub Actions environment
+- ✅ Task completed successfully with working fixes and comprehensive test coverage
