Research direction

The issue names concurrent.futures.Future and links BPO 45365, but gives no source file, failing test, or concrete behavior to change. Start by reading the Future entry point and the linked issue, then clarify which executor-independent use cases and API guarantees are required; done means those cases work with focused tests.
