- PR #98891: test(gateway): isolate credential-surface media tests from the runner's home

These items address a test isolation problem where media-delivery tests fail on runners with a root home directory, because the container path collides with the real home. The work involves isolating the HOME environment variable in credential-surface media tests to prevent this collision.
