    Research direction

    Start by reviewing the linked pull requests, including python/cpython#14823 and gh-137420, along with the Windows component context in the issue. Confirm the current Windows support and determine what remains before AF_UNIX support can be considered enabled; done means the requested support is implemented and validated.
