Research direction
Start by reproducing the python3.dll export-forwarder failure on Windows under the DLL search-path situations described in the issue, checking whether the required python3?.dll dependency is available. Trace which dependency lookup fails and verify completion when the forwarders resolve consistently in all reported situations.
