Research direction
Start with the minimal reproduction in test_chdir.py and review the existing PRs 29218, 29220, and gh-132982 to understand the proposed direction. Run the reproduction, then trace the chdir context manager implementation and its tests. Done means the unsafe exit behavior is covered by a regression test and the reproduction no longer fails.
