The `Drop page cache to free RAM before build` step in `nightly-publish.yml` (added in #574) has failed on every nightly matrix job that entered the build container since 2026-03-31. Inside the `nvidia/cuda:<tag>-cudnn-devel-rockylinux8` container on the EC2 self-hosted runner, `/proc/sys` is bind-mounted read-only, so the write returns **EROFS** and the job fails before `Build fvdb` ever runs.
