Testing status: **not done yet.** I ran this PR's own tests on master and on the branch, plus a live BarnOwl check with injected messages (before/after screenshots and logs), but I still need to review that evidence myself before calling it tested.
Findings: `t/moduleloader.t` fails on master (2 of 8) and passes on the branch. Live, in a bwrap sandbox with a read-only `/tmp` and an unusable `PAR_TMPDIR`/`TMPDIR`: master reports "Can't load BarnOwl::ModuleLoader, loadable module support disabled" and neither the unpacked module nor the `.par` one loads; on the branch the unpacked module in `~/.owl/modules` loads and the `.par` module fails with a single error. Without the sandbox both builds load both kinds of module.
Could use a human: a real Landlock sandbox (kerberos-jail); I used bwrap with a read-only `/tmp` instead.
