**Note**: For `extra_tests/snippets` tests, use debug mode (`cargo run`) as compilation is faster. For `unittest` (`-m test`), use release mode (`cargo run --release`) for better runtime performance.

### Building venvlauncher (Windows)

See DEVELOPMENT.md "CPython Version Upgrade Checklist" section.

**IMPORTANT**: All 4 venvlauncher binaries use the same source code. Do NOT add multiple `[[bin]]` entries to Cargo.toml. Build once and copy with different names.
