Research direction

Start by reproducing `git submodule update --init --recursive` and inspect how the `cpython` submodule is registered. Determine why cloning uses the SSH URL shown in the error and identify the project-supported access path. Done means a fresh recursive clone can obtain `cpython` without requiring unavailable repository permissions.
