Research direction

Start with the migrated BPO issue and its Interpreter Core context, then reproduce the case described in the title: change a source file after code has been loaded and inspect the resulting traceback. Done means traceback lines consistently reflect the code that actually ran rather than the updated file on disk; the issue names no files or tests.
