Research direction
Start with TestUnpackMojo.testUnpackOverWriteIfNewer, around line 515, and reproduce the failure from the linked GitHub Actions run. Investigate why the unpacked file's lastModified() value is unchanged; done means the test is deterministic and passes without masking the overwrite behavior.
