Research direction

Locate the implementation of helpful-string and reproduce the issue's Python snippet to observe the differing handling of plain interpolation, !r, and =. Done means the latter two cases produce no error while the plain f-string behavior remains unchanged; add or update coverage where that implementation is tested.
