    Research direction

    Start by reviewing multiprocessing.Server and the linked PR #8254, then reproduce an exception raised through the server to inspect the traceback that is preserved. Done means the original exception traceback is no longer swallowed and the behavior is covered by an appropriate multiprocessing test.
