Research direction

No source file, test, or entry point is named; the report only identifies the --multiprocessing-fork option and embedded Python initialization error. Start by reproducing the failure and comparing the same build and configuration on Linux and macOS. Done means identifying and documenting the platform-specific cause, with a verified fix if the affected component can be located.
