Research direction

The issue names no files or tests. Start by examining componentize-py's build-time loading behavior against Python 3.15 lazy imports, including the standard-library lazy-import cycles mentioned here. Done means confirming whether lazy imports or cycles cause runtime errors and documenting whether explicit build-time imports remain necessary.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

It may be that Python 3.15's lazy imports like lazy import some_module evade componentize-py's build-time loading and thus trigger runtime errors.

Hairier still, cycles of lazy imports are allowed, even celebrated as one of lazy imports' motivating use cases. Are those going to cause trouble for us? Should we just continue to recommend explicitly importing them in a place that runs at build time? There exist lazy-import cycles in the stdlib. Are they going to ruin our day?

Now take a deep breath: we're still on 3.14 here.
