Research direction

The issue names a use-after-free in the reply loop but provides no file, test, reproduction, or expected behavior. Start by locating the reply loop and reproducing the failure, then trace object lifetime through that path. Done means the use-after-free is eliminated and the relevant failure scenario is verified.
