+// app calls can still read the wall clock, and a golden can still depend on
+// the machine's timezone through a seam the static net cannot see (a
+// ViewModel constructed without its injected clock already caused one

+// dates never agree — the offsets are 26 hours apart, so any date-derived
+// value differs between the legs at every instant (see DETERMINISM_TIMEZONES
+// in qa/lib/determinism.mjs for why UTC-12/UTC+14 and not UTC/UTC+14) — and
+// FAILs naming every test whose outcome differs between the legs.
+//
+// Mechanics that carry the honesty:
+//  - TZ reaches the test JVM through the environment: Gradle forwards the
+//    client's environment to the daemon on every build, and test workers
+//    fork from the daemon — so the child env below is inherited all the way
+//    down to the JVM whose default timezone the tests see.
+//  - BOTH legs force --rerun. Without it Gradle would mark the second leg
+//    up-to-date (TZ is not a declared build input) and replay the first
+//    leg's results — the probe would then compare a run against its own
+//    echo and certify a determinism it never tested (the build-cache-replay
+//    lesson, again). The legs use the mode-scoped RERUN like every other
+//    desktopTest invocation — and because --determinism is refused alongside
+//    --fast up front, RERUN is always " --rerun" by the time a leg runs.
