Align the QSBR thread state array to a 64-byte cache line boundary
and add padding at the end of _PyThreadStateImpl. Depending on heap
layout, the QSBR array could end up sharing a cache line with a
thread's tlbc_index, causing QSBR quiescent state updates to contend
with reads of tlbc_index in RESUME_CHECK. This is sensitive to
earlier allocations during interpreter init and can appear or
disappear with seemingly unrelated changes.
Either change alone is sufficient to fix the specific issue, but both
are worthwhile to avoid similar problems in the future.
Add TYPE_FROZENDICT to the marshal module.
Add C API functions:
* PyAnyDict_Check()
* PyAnyDict_CheckExact()
* PyFrozenDict_Check()
* PyFrozenDict_CheckExact()
* PyFrozenDict_New()
Add PyFrozenDict_Type C type.

The unparser was not handling the `is_lazy` attribute on Import and
ImportFrom AST nodes, causing lazy imports to be unparsed as regular
imports. This broke the round-trip (parse → unparse → reparse) for
any file containing `lazy import` statements.
* %D support for strptime, including test and Doc update
* additional %D test
* change documentation example date for %D so it is more legible to non-US readers
* change testing date for %D so it is more legible to non-US readers
* mv News blurb to Library, consistent with previous %F change
* change invalid format code from %D to C-standard unused %!
* Fix erroneous and misleading example Doc to %y from %Y, use correct C99+ definition for C99 %D; update additional tests

In newPySSLSocket(), when SSL_new() returns NULL, Py_DECREF(self)
was called before _setSSLError(get_state_ctx(self), ...), causing
a use-after-free. Additionally, get_state_ctx() was called with
self (PySSLSocket*) instead of sslctx (PySSLContext*), which is
a type confusion bug.
Fix by calling _setSSLError() before Py_DECREF() and using
sslctx instead of self for get_state_ctx().
Adds `prefixmatch` APIs to the re module as an alternate name for our long existing `match` APIs to help alleviate a common Python confusion for those coming from other languages regular expression libraries.
These alleviate common confusion around what "match" means as Python is different than other popular languages regex libraries in our use of the term as an API name. The original `match` names are **NOT being deprecated**. Source tooling like linters, IDEs, and LLMs could suggest using `prefixmatch` instead of match to improve code health and reduce cognitive burden of understanding the intent of code when configured for a modern minimum Python version.
See the documentation changes for a better description.

Add a regression test ensuring that circular lazy imports raise a proper
error (ImportCycleError) instead of crashing with a segfault. The crash
was fixed in gh-144733 but no test was added at the time.
Guard against NULL pointer arithmetic in `_PyLexer_remember_fstring_buffers`
and `_PyLexer_restore_fstring_buffers`. When `start` or `multi_line_start`
are NULL (uninitialized in tok_mode_stack[0]), performing `NULL - tok->buf`
is undefined behavior. Add explicit NULL checks to store -1 as sentinel
and restore NULL accordingly.
Add test_lexer_buffer_realloc_with_null_start to test_repl.py that
exercises the code path where the lexer buffer is reallocated while
tok_mode_stack[0] has NULL start/multi_line_start pointers. This
triggers _PyLexer_remember_fstring_buffers and verifies the NULL
checks prevent undefined behavior.
To avoid duplicate content in the Enum HOWTO and
API documentation which is not automatically synced,
the section about supported __dunder__ and _sunder
names is moved from HOWTO to API docs.

Python.h now also includes <string.h> in the limited C API version 3.11
and newer to fix the Py_CLEAR() macro which uses memcpy().
Add a Py_CLEAR() test in test_cext.
Modify also _Py_TYPEOF to use C23 typeof() if available.
Remove spurious Py_DECREF on borrowed ref in LOAD_GLOBAL specialization
_PyDict_LookupIndexAndValue() returns a borrowed reference via
_Py_dict_lookup(), but specialize_load_global_lock_held() called
Py_DECREF(value) on it when bailing out for lazy imports. Each time
the adaptive counter fired while a lazy import was still in globals,
this stole one reference from the dict's object. With 8+ threads
racing through LOAD_GLOBAL during concurrent lazy import resolution,
enough triggers accumulated to drive the refcount to zero while the
dict and other threads still referenced the object, causing
use-after-free.
