    Research direction

    Start with the issue title and the linked python-3.8-fix-tests.patch, then identify the SharedMemoryServer and related tests that fail on Guix. Reproduce those test failures in a Guix environment and compare the results with the patch; done means the affected tests pass there without regressing other test platforms.
