Research direction

The issue names signrawtransactionwithwallet as the entry point; locate its RPC implementation and any existing tests for signing unconfirmed inputs. Determine how the missing asset information should be supplied for Taproot, then confirm the RPC can sign Taproot outputs from unconfirmed inputs without breaking existing calls.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

If you try to call signrawtransactionwithwallet on an unconfirmed input, you need to provide the input's information, including the amount (for segwit) and asset (for Taproot). But the RPC does not take the asset. So you cannot sign Taproot outputs with this RPC.
