Research direction
Start by reading the discussion in pull request #180, especially the linked comment, then locate the Worker(...) constructors in Distributed.jl. Determine whether they can return LocalProcess instances instead of Worker instances and clarify the intended invariant. Done means the constructor behavior is resolved and verified against the project’s existing checks or tests.
