Research direction
Start by locating CPython's existing tests for the msvcrt module and inspect how Windows-only and debug-build functions are covered. Add coverage for GetErrorMode, SetErrorMode, and the identified debug-only functions; done means the missing functions have focused tests on supported builds. A linked PR, gh-126029, is already mentioned in the issue.
