 **Notes:**
 - The sandbox runs as root, so 4 core lib tests fail on main and on branches alike: `copy_tree::relax_loop_must_not_traverse_symlinked_root`, `vlt_heal::an_unremovable_hidden_lock_keeps_every_store_entry`, `pypi_poetry::wire_write_failure_maps_error_and_leaves_lock_untouched`, `pypi_requirements::wire_failure_rolls_back_already_written_files`.
