Subject: [PATCH] Add autouse fixture to reset `_runtime_vars` per-test
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

`open_root_actor()` writes `_enable_tpts` (and friends) into
the process-global `_state._runtime_vars` dict but nothing
resets it on actor teardown. Under the in-proc `pytest`
launchpad a uds-using test leaks `_enable_tpts=['uds']` into
a sibling tcp test, tripping the
`registry_addrs`×`enable_transports` proto-guard in
`open_root_actor()` with a `ValueError`.

New `_reset_runtime_vars` fixture snapshots + restores the
dict around every test so no runtime-var state crosses a
test boundary.
