-------------------------------+--------------------
 `run_tests.py` seems to once again be failing when there's no system tor
 installed.  Installing a system tor binary causes the test to succeed.
 This might be a regression of #22366, but it seems that this time, running
 the `run_tests.py` from the top of the stem source tree instead of `make
 test-stem` from the top of the tor source tree also fails.

 Again, I think this is a serious problem because attempting to run the
 system tor without intending to can cause the wrong tor binary to run,
 which can cause misleading test results.  (Also we should support running
 stem without a tor binary being installed in the default path.)

 Also, I confirmed that `env -i` doesn't reproduce this problem, possibly
 because of special cases that execute in the absence of a `PATH` variable.
 You have to delete or rename the system tor binary (or possibly otherwise
 remove it from the path).

 I haven't had time to bisect this yet.
