Research direction

Start with issue 84824 and its linked BPO 40644 discussion, then inspect Python's existing stat.filemode() behavior and the Windows file-attribute APIs involved. The work is complete when Windows file attributes have a defined text representation comparable to stat.filemode(), with coverage for the intended cases.
