Description
Currently in TestFileEnvironment.run() we walk the entire script directory before and after execution of the process. In general this is probably much less optimal than we could be - individual tests could assert for specific expected files.
We should take a parameter in __init__ to allow disabling this behavior.

Research direction
Read scripttest.py at TestFileEnvironment.run() and its init method, focusing on the linked pre- and post-execution directory traversal. Confirm the existing behavior remains the default, while the new option disables both traversals when requested.
