/**
 * Pack the locally-built `next` package and run agent evals against it.
 *
 *   pnpm eval <eval-name>             run one eval, both variants (baseline + AGENTS.md)
 *   pnpm eval <eval-name> --dry       preview without executing
 *   pnpm eval --all                   run every eval (slow — normally only CI does this)
 *   NEXT_SKIP_PACK=1 pnpm eval ...    reuse tarball from last run
 *
 * Mirrors run-tests.js: pack once, hand paths to child via env, forward args.
 *
 * We only pack `next`, not the whole workspace. The sandbox is remote Linux:
 *   - @next/swc: local darwin binary wouldn't run there; the sandbox downloads
 *     the right one at runtime (packages/next/src/build/swc/index.ts).
 *   - @next/env etc: resolved from npm at the pinned canary version.
 *
 * The experiments/ dir is generated fresh on every run and gitignored. This
 * keeps the two variants (baseline vs. AGENTS.md) in one place instead of
 * maintaining N committed experiment files that only differ by one line.
