I've pointed out two places where a comment would be appropriate. I'm approving the PR under the assumption you'll take care of those.

Please add a note pointing to PyThreadState_INIT() and indicating that fields set there should be adjusted here as appropriate.

Thanks for fixing this, BTW.

@pablogsal, leak tests didn't catch this because we use the "raw" domain to allocate PyThreadState and PyInterpreterState.

Oh interesting, can you confirm that changing the domain to memory makes the test fail?

You can't. :)

Fatal Python error: _PyMem_DebugCalloc: Python memory allocator called without holding the GIL
Python runtime state: preinitialized

See this comment:

cpython/Python/pystate.c

Lines 818 to 821 in 58ee5d8

// We don't need to allocate a thread state for the main interpreter
// (the common case), but doing it later for the other case revealed a
// reentrancy problem (deadlock). So for now we always allocate before
// taking the interpreters lock. See GH-96071.
