## TL;DR

Run gevent.monkey.patch_all() and all third-party imports first, then configure logfire last. Workaround: import gevent and magic before calling logfire.configure().

## Steps

1. [davidhewitt (commenter)]: The AssertionError is an upstream gevent + ctypes interaction (opentelemetry-python#3897). Workaround: import gevent and magic before calling logfire.configure(). Run gevent.monkey.patch_all() and all third-party imports first, then configure logfire last.
