Comment (by sukhendu2002):

 I tested the UPLOADS constant approach in bootstrap.php, and it does solve
 the collision by isolating test uploads in a disposable directory.

 The main thing I found is that this change affects more of the test suite
 than it first appears, because it changes the base URL returned by
 wp_upload_dir() globally. As a result, several media tests with hardcoded
 wp-content/uploads URLs start failing and need to be updated to use
 dynamic upload URLs instead.

 So the approach looks valid, but the patch likely needs broader test
 updates alongside it. Discussion and alternative ideas are welcome.
