+{- Note [Tag inference for interactive contexts]
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+When compiling bytecode we call myCoreToStg to get STG code first.
+myCoreToStg in turn calls out to stg2stg which runs the STG to STG
+passes followed by free variables analysis and tag inference at the end.
+Running tag inference is important as it upholds Note [Strict Field Invariant].
+While code executed by GHCi doesn't take advantage of the SFI it can call into
+compiled code which does. So it must still make sure that the SFI is upheld.
+See also #21083 and #22042.
+
+However there one important difference in code generation for GHCi and regular
+compilation. When compiling an entire module (not a GHCi expression), we call
+`stg2stg` on the entire module which allows us to build up a map which is guaranteed
+to have an entry for every binder in the current module.
+For non-interactive compilation the tag inference rewrite pass takes advantage
+of this by building up a map from binders to their tag signatures.
+
+When compiling a GHCi expression on the other hand we invoke stg2stg separately
+for each expression on the prompt. This means in GHCi for a sequence of:
+    > let x = True
+    > let y = StrictJust x
+We first run stg2stg for `[x = True]`. And then again for [y = StrictJust x]`.
+
+While computing the tag signature for `y` during tag inference inferConTag will check
+if `x` is already tagged by looking up the tagsig of `x` in the binder->signature mapping.
+However since this mapping isn't persistent between stg2stg
+invocations the lookup will fail. This isn't a correctness issue since it's always
+safe to assume a binding isn't tagged and that's what we do in such cases.
+
+However for non-interactive mode we *don't* want to do this. Since in non-interactive mode
+we have all binders of the module available for each invocation we can expect the binder->signature
+mapping to be complete and all lookups to succeed. This means in non-interactive contexts a failed lookup
+indicates a bug in the tag inference implementation.
+For this reason we assert that we are running in interactive mode if a lookup fails.
