Description
Seen twice on 2026-09-09 in CI on the same commit (`96b71ef`, merge of #157, which touched only `apps/web`):
- push run: `tests/slug-redirect.test.ts > never intercepts /api/* paths`
- pull_request run: `tests/avatar-upload.test.ts > 404s for a missing person` and `> rejects unsupported MIME types with 422`
All with the same error from `apps/api/tests/helpers/seed-fixtures.ts` cloning the bare fixture repo created by `tests/helpers/test-full-repo.ts`:
```
Error: Command failed: git clone /tmp/cfp-full-data-XXXX/data.git /tmp/cfp-seed-wt-YYYY
fatal: failed to copy file to '/tmp/cfp-seed-wt-YYYY/.git/objects/71/fdd3...': No such file or directory
```
Different test files, different temp dirs, same shape: a local `git clone` (hardlink/copy of loose objects) races with something mutating the source repo's object store while it runs. Suspects: another worker's transaction on the same shared fixture repo (gitsheets 2.x Rust core landed on `develop` via #151 and may repack/prune loose objects), or a cleanup `rm` in a sibling file's `afterEach`. Locally the suite passes with `--maxWorkers=2`; CI uses the default worker count.
Options: give each test file its own fixture repo (no shared source), clone with `--no-hardlinks`/`file://` (forces a pack transfer instead of per-object copies), or serialize the clone behind a lock. Re-running the job passes, so this is a flake, not a regression, but it will keep failing release CI at random.

Start with apps/api/tests/helpers/seed-fixtures.ts and tests/helpers/test-full-repo.ts, then reproduce the listed slug-redirect and avatar-upload tests using CI's default worker count. Trace shared fixture creation, cloning, and cleanup while parallel workers run; done means those tests no longer intermittently fail during git clone and the full parallel suite remains stable.
