Research direction
Start by reviewing the issue description and the linked PRs gh-134462, gh-134617, gh-134619, gh-134620, and gh-134658, then inspect the freeze-support documentation they address. The issue names run_server_min.py as a reproduction file, but does not identify the documentation file or the precise misleading text. Done means the freeze-support documentation accurately reflects current behavior.
