Description

The documentation says that get on a pool resource will get a "claimed" lock, but that is not the case. It will successfully fetch lock metadata even if the lock is in the unclaimed state.

Research direction

Start by tracing the pool resource's get operation and how it handles the named lock's claimed and unclaimed states. Done means get rejects an unclaimed named lock while continuing to fetch metadata for a claimed lock; verify the behavior with the repository's relevant checks.
