There was a problem hiding this comment.
The release tokenizer fix and interactive buffer retention are included. The final tree matches the debug build tested locally: 702 tests passed, including the CPU-resource cases and the new interactive regression.

Backport gh-156756 to Python 3.15. Retain replacement expressions in the tokenizer buffer instead of repeatedly copying the remaining source. Preserve the expression pointers when the buffer grows, and keep the interactive buffer while a formatted string is open.
Main already received the implementation through gh-156484, so the automatic cherry-pick only brought over tests. This backport also adapts the original fix to the release tokenizer and adds coverage for multiline interactive expressions, which otherwise abort in a debug build.
The targeted parser and command-line tests pass in a debug build, including the CPU-resource tests.
