  Instead of banking on TemporaryDirectory's auto-cleanup, you
  might wanna take a stab at nuking the directory post-test with
  a more bare-bones approach like os.rmdir() or roll your own
  cleanup function.

  Or you could wrap the TemporaryDirectory usage in a try-except
  block to catch and log any hiccups during cleanup, so the
  test can keep truckin' even if that cleanup goes sideways
