Research direction

Start with tests/by-util/test_tr.rs:1384 and inspect test_stdin_is_socket alongside the linked CI failure for pull request 15960. Identify which platform or environment returns Unsupported when the test unwraps its result; done means the test handles the supported-platform behavior and passes in the relevant CI job.
