Tom Boucher 4e378d37d8 fix(#3008): kill cross-process race in install-minimal:307 mid-copy test (#3009)
Old shape compared listTmpStageDirs() snapshots before/after the
mid-copy throw. Under scripts/run-tests.cjs --test-concurrency=4,
tests/install-minimal-all-runtimes.test.cjs runs in a parallel
subprocess and also creates gsd-minimal-skills-* dirs in shared
os.tmpdir(). The parallel process's create/remove activity between
this test's two snapshots caused deterministic failure when timing
aligned -- presented as 'flaky' but is a real race.

CI failure data (PR #2993 run 25238555786):
  expected (before): ['gsd-minimal-skills-km1O1O']
  actual   (after):  []

Both processes behaved correctly in isolation. The test was wrong:
it observed a shared filesystem state across processes.

Fix: stub fs.mkdtempSync inside this test to record THIS call's
stage dir path. After the throw, assert fs.existsSync(stagedDir)
=== false. Direct observation of the function's own behavior; no
global tmpdir scan; no parallel-process interference.

Closes #3008

Fixed 3008

tests/install-minimal.test.cjs:307 no longer races on shared os.tmpdir() under parallel CI — the previous shape compared listTmpStageDirs() snapshots before and after the throw. Under scripts/run-tests.cjs --test-concurrency=4, tests/install-minimal-all-runtimes.test.cjs runs in a parallel process and creates/removes gsd-minimal-skills-* dirs in the shared OS tmpdir between snapshots, so deepStrictEqual failed deterministically when the parallel process happened to have a live stage dir during the snapshot window. Fix: stub fs.mkdtempSync to record THIS call's stage dir, then assert that exact path no longer exists after the throw — no global filesystem snapshot, no race. (#3008)
