Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked Ofborg log and the referenced nixpkgs pull request and check run to reproduce how a package dependency with the host platform marked unsupported is selected for testing. Trace the relevant Rust entry point and determine how to prevent those invalid test builds; done means the referenced case no longer triggers an Ofborg test build.
