Script works if I walk through it (debug, VSCode), but if I just 'run' it without any breakpoints or interrupts, it crashes silently with no errors

Process Monitor

If your program abruptly terminates with an abnormal closing state, there's a good chance the kernel killed it. There could be all sorts of reasons - you ran out of memory, you committed an access violation, you were terminated by another process like an oomkiller or a virus protection, etc. Tracing your execution by emitting some output is a perfectly reasonable place to start, and there are, frankly, about a billion tools that can trace processes to see what is going on. Process Monitor is a nice tool. So is Process Explorer. You could examine the process exit code as described here to get another clue as to why python.exe is aborting.
