Research direction

The issue identifies CPython's Interpreter Core, Library (Lib), and Subinterpreters components but names no files or tests. Start by locating the existing atexit and subinterpreter handling, then determine the required per-thread behavior and shutdown semantics. Done requires an agreed design and implementation with coverage for the relevant thread and interpreter cases.
