Subject: [PATCH] test(tools): compare child cwd against its real path
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The passthrough test compared the child's process.cwd() (a resolved physical
path) against the symlinked temp dir spelling, so the suite was red on macOS
where os.tmpdir() is /var/... (a symlink to /private/var/...). Compare against
realpathSync(cwd) — a no-op on platforms without the symlink.
