Research direction

Start by locating the existing alloconda buffer-exposure APIs and the slot handling for Py_bf_getbuffer and Py_bf_releasebuffer. Review allotest coverage across the supported Python versions, then validate Py_buffer shape, strides, readonly state, and lifecycle. Done means ergonomic APIs expose buffers with complete cross-version tests and correct lifecycle behavior.
