Research direction

Start by reviewing the migrated BPO issue 26961 and its six comments to recover the intended debugging use case. The payload names no source file, entry point, or test, so the work first needs an agreed API design; done would require that design, an implementation, and tests demonstrating the super().getattribute results.
