Research direction

The issue names python-gdb.py and concerns GDB autoloading, but gives no repository path, failing case, or test. Locate python-gdb.py and inspect the GDB-related build integration; first establish the expected autoload behavior and a reproducible check, then use that check to confirm the file is loaded correctly.
