Description

As demonstrated by #12888 and #13170, there is subtly different behavior regarding to input with uv-managed Pythons from python-build-standalone, as those use libedit instead of readline.

The existing tests in test_debugging.py mostly fail before #13176, so we would have easily caught #12888 earlier if we had a build job that runs with such a Python.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing CI build jobs and the tests in test_debugging.py, along with the related issues #12888, #13170, and #13176. Add a CI job using a Python managed by uv from python-build-standalone, then confirm the relevant tests pass and the job catches the differing libedit behavior.
