Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named in the issue. Start by locating the owned Stdio, File, and related handle types, then inspect their Unix dup-family and Windows DuplicateHandle paths. Done means exposing duplication for these types while preserving the documented possibility of failure rather than treating it as Clone.
