Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reading the linked BPO issue 39376 and tracing the interpreter-core and subinterpreter implementation involved in process environment changes. Done means the relevant operation no longer modifies the process-global environment in a thread-unsafe way, with appropriate regression coverage.
