Research direction
The issue identifies the ctypes component and links to the original BPO issue 28646; start by reading that issue and its discussion to determine the intended read-only buffer behavior. The issue does not name files, tests, or acceptance criteria, so the expected implementation scope and definition of done need clarification before work begins.
