Research direction
Reproduce the report with the listed `import pandas` step and measure the stated 20–30 second delay. Then locate the Azure Functions host entry point that handles Python function startup and determine the expected import-time behavior; the issue names no file, test, or acceptance criterion, so confirm scope before changing code.
