Description

@EthanS94 @dhrogers

The cinema test as currently implemented can't run on systems that disable internet access from their compute nodes. Is there a reasonable subset of test code that can be permanently committed to the test suite or another way to execute a standalone test without cloning the whole repository?

Research direction

Start by locating the cinema test and the code path that clones the repository. Check how the test behaves on internet-disabled compute nodes, then determine whether a permanently committed subset or a standalone execution path can cover the same validation without cloning the whole repository.
