Review Comment:
   Yeah my preference would be to go ahead with simply throwing the exception 
for now, doing the basic fix to call `getPassthroughResolvedPath`, merging and 
then iterate on improvements afterwards.
   
   On the terminology of backfill here, my understanding was that the "backfill 
triggered" @HonahX is mentioning isn't describing any fundamentally 
new/different code flow, but is just talking about the JIT-creation here itself 
as the backfill. So I think we're in alignment, just describing the current 
PR's flow in slightly different terms.
