The plugin was delivered by writing it to a temp dir, putting that dir on
PYTHONPATH and loading it with `python -m pytest -p _testium_pytest_plugin`.
That import-by-name failed in the AppImage runtime (ModuleNotFoundError:
_testium_pytest_plugin) so collection returned nothing and the item FAILed
— while wheel/pyinstaller/flatpak worked. Local sims forcing the AppImage
env path (apply_host_libs) passed, ruling out the env scrubbing.
Ship the plugin as a self-contained launcher run directly
(`python launcher.py ...`) that registers it as a plugin object via
pytest.main(plugins=[sys.modules[__name__]]): no PYTHONPATH, no `-p`, no
import-by-name. apply_host_libs is untouched. Verified on source, wheel,
pyinstaller, flatpak and AppImage.
