Research direction

The issue concerns Python 3.11 virtual environments on Windows 11 with case-sensitive paths, but it names no files, tests, or reproduction steps. Start by reproducing the failure and tracing the Windows virtual-environment handling; done means VENV works correctly with case-sensitive Windows paths and the behavior is covered by a regression test.
