The issue does not name a file, test, or entry point. Start by reviewing the repository's existing CopyOnWrite API and its OS-specific behavior, then determine whether creating a clone of a locked file through shadow copy is supported and safe; done should include a documented feasibility decision and a defined implementation scope if needed.
