MWE:
julia> using Distributed
julia> addprocs(3)
3-element Vector{Int64}:
2
3
4
julia> @everywhere [3,4] begin
a = myid()
end
julia> @fetchfrom 3 a
3
julia> a = 1
1
julia> @fetchfrom 3 a
1
# looks like instead of fetching from pid=3, it uses a locally cached 'a'

Research direction
Start by reproducing the provided Julia 1.10 MWE in Distributed.jl, focusing on the @fetchfrom and remotecall_fetch entry points after addprocs. Trace why @fetchfrom 3 a returns the local value after a is reassigned; done means it fetches the value of a from process 3 consistently.
