ClosedPublic

Details

Summary

Hypothesis can generate chain of aliases in a snapshot content. We could also encounter
such cases in real world data so we need to handle it.

Test Plan

This issue was discovered by an already written test when using the slow hypothesis
profile mode.

Depends on D2382
