Research direction
Start with the migrated BPO issue 40134 and its two messages, then investigate CPython's Windows-specific ANSI escape code handling for Python 3.8. The payload names no source files or tests; done requires reproducing the inconsistency on Windows 10 and establishing consistent behavior.
