Subject: [PATCH] tests.buildenv: test passthru.paths injection

buildEnv stashes `paths` into `passthru.paths` (rather than passing it directly as a derivation attribute) to prevent unexpected string context pollution. Verify that:
- paths are accessible via passthru.paths
- passthru.paths can be overridden with overrideAttrs
