Research direction

Search the codebase for Constant.state_size() and inspect how the Constant node shares the memory backing its data across states. Add or update regression coverage for the reported state size, and consider the issue complete when the reported size is zero and the relevant tests pass.

Description

question

... at least I think so. Since the Constant node shares the memory backing its data across states, I believe the estimated state size (as reported by Constant.state_size()) should be zero.
