Research direction

The payload names no files, tests, or entry points; begin with BPO 34707 and its four migrated messages to recover the failing reentrancy scenario. Identify the interpreter component involved, a reproducible test case, and the expected behavior; done means the test passes without regressing existing interpreter tests.
