------------------------------+--------------------
 When run in wp-env (Docker), the PHP tests take very long time (over 30
 seconds) to initialize. This is especially annoying/time wasting when
 running them multiple times.

 Not sure if Docker or Composer is the cause, but I see this:
 {{{
 > WordPress at 6.2.0 test:php /dev/wp/trunk
 > node ./tools/local-env/scripts/docker.js run -T php composer update -W
 && node ./tools/local-env/scripts/docker.js run php ./vendor/bin/phpunit

 }}}

 The problem seems to be that Composer is run every time to re-check the
 dependencies, i.e. the script there does the equivalent of `npm i` every
 time before it starts PHPUnit. I understand the desire to keep things
 updated, but this is not productive.
