    Research direction

    Start by reading the pdb post_mortem and do_debug entry points, then review the linked PRs #12479 and #23202 for the proposed direction. Determine the expected sys.settrace behavior when do_debug is used inside post_mortem and identify the relevant regression test before making a change.
