Codex Bezae contains the following addition immediately after Luke 6:4.

Τη αυτη ημερα θεασαμενος τινα εργαζομενον τω σαββατω ειπεν αυτω ανθρωπε, ει μεν οιδας τι ποιεις, μακαριος ει ει δε μη οιδας, επικαταρατος και παραβατης ει του νομου.

Eodem die videns quendam operantem sabbato et dixit illi: Homo, siquidem scis, quod facis, beatus es, si autem nescis, maledictus et trabaricator legis.

On that same day, seeing someone working on the Sabbath, he (Jesus) said to him, "Man, if you know what you do, blessed are you; but if you do not know, you are cursed and a transgressor of the law."

=====

If this addition exists in the original first-hand manuscript written by Luke, what do you think about the interpretation of this verse?

Luk 6:1 On a Sabbath, while he was going through the grainfields, his disciples plucked and ate some heads of grain, rubbing them in their hands.
Luk 6:2 But some of the Pharisees said, “Why are you doing what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath?”
Luk 6:3 And Jesus answered them, “Have you not read what David did when he was hungry, he and those who were with him:
Luk 6:4 how he entered the house of God and took and ate the bread of the Presence, which is not lawful for any but the priests to eat, and also gave it to those with him?”
On that same day, seeing someone working on the Sabbath, he (Jesus) said to him, "Man, if you know what you do, blessed are you; but if you do not know, you are cursed and a transgressor of the law."
Luk 6:5 And he said to them, “The Son of Man is lord of the Sabbath.”

Is this the "wink" God offers in some cases?

Still confused with the meaning of that statement.

"Man, if you know what you do (i.e. working in the Sabbath), blessed are you; but if you do not know, you are cursed and a transgressor of the law."

I think it is impossible a Torah observant Jew to bless a man who breaks the Sabbath by doing his melachah (creative activity, esp. there is connection to seek money) intentionally ("you know what you do").

Is this fictional or factual statement?
Only Codex Bezae contains this verse.

No.
Yeshua was crucified, leaders thought they knew what they were doing, Yeshua said "forgive them for they know not what they do".. wink wink...
Look up (saw long ago and have not yet re-looked)
in SCRIPTURE what YHWH does to(or says about) those who 'wink'. (it is not good)

I don't think it ever has a good connotation in YHWH'S WORD and
Certainly not in human / social interactions. (it is a bad thing) ...

edit: add/searched:
I am familiar with this : (I thought it said blinked at)
Acts 17:30King James Version (KJV)
30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:

King James Version (KJV)

Since Y'SHUA died , YHWH now commandeth all men every where to repent. (no more winking)

Yes, as noted in edit add in previous post.

Note importantly that no longer can men get away with what YHWH once might have/ did/ 'wink' at .

You are approaching this from the perspective that just because we are in this generation, we can "no longer get away with what YHWH once "winked" on. .. We may be getting that close where what you are saying is true.. I believe God is very personal on this. I believe He judges each individual by what they know and understand.... even today with the "increase of knowledge"

John 15:22
If I had not come and spoken unto them, they would not have sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin.
Romans 1:20
For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

Each time in what you quoted from SCRIPTURE here and before,
it is written that they are without excuse,
and
the previous "God no longer winks at sin" ...

This is in perfect harmony with all of HIS WORD and
a stern warning
as in HEBREWS I think where HE strictly warns those again from
the disobedience of the Israelites when they heard HIS VOICE THUNDER in the mountain ,
saying
How much MORE will those today be punished for their sin
since we have heard not from a thundering mountain,
but
from HIM WHO is so much higher and greater - from JESUS /// and HIM CRUCIFIED AND RAISED !

What I am saying is unless you have been given spiritual discernment on any given subject, you will not truly understand the breath, depth, width, length, root, branch flower, fruit of the problem with any given sins. What you are saying is true. But that is not the point I am making though.

Luk 6:5 And he said to them, “The Son of Man is lord of the Sabbath.”
I believe a person would need to pull in the other scriptures which make similar talking points about that addition to evaluate whether it has any merit. Things like the women at the well in John 4:28-29. Then there's John 5:17, also Matthew 12:5.

A person may also want to look at what was going on at the time the Codex Bezae was written. It could have historical factors that might persuade someone to believe it was written in later to resolve an issue at that time.
