Research direction
Start with Lib/test/test_builtin.py around line 2702 and the failing ImmortalTests.test_immortals assertion. Review the linked complete build log for the i586 environment and determine why the observed refcount differs from the expected value; done means the immortal tests pass on the reported 32-bit Python 3.14 build.
