ICU takes the zone name from the /etc/localtime symlink target path. A bind
mount turns it into a plain file, which keeps the TZif data but loses the
path, so the only identifier left is the ambiguous "CST" abbreviation that
ICU reads from the file and maps to America/Chicago.
Export TZ from time.timeZone and pass TZ/TZDIR through the nixpak env
allowlist.
