Research direction
Start with test.test_class.TestInlineValues.test_detach_materialized_dict_no_memory and the linked macOS free-threading CI run. Reproduce the failure on the macOS-26 free-threading build, then inspect the subprocess assertion that the dictionary was not cleared. Done means the test no longer fails randomly in that CI configuration.
