doc/source/whatsnew/vX.X.X.rstfile if fixing a bug or adding a new feature.AGENTS.md.Previously,
Index.intersectionandIndex.union(includingMultiIndeximplementations) would return a direct reference toself(orother) if the result was identical to the input. This allowed side effects where mutating the metadata (e.g..name) of the result would corrupt the original index.This change forces a shallow copy (
deep=False) in these cases. This preserves the performance benefit of sharing the underlying data array while ensuring the Index container itself is a distinct object with independent metadata.
