Description
#8414 (fixed by #8516) ensured all temporary directories have 0o700 as mode
this seems to prevent sharing them into a docker image for selenium usage on files (affecting pytest-html tests)
as we also apply this to basetemp, there is now ay to get out of it

Research direction
Start by reading the temporary-directory change in #8414 and its fix in #8516, then inspect how pytest applies the 0o700 mode to basetemp. Reproduce the pytest-html Selenium case involving a Docker-shared temporary directory; done means intentional world-owned temporary directories can be used for sharing without weakening the default hardening.
