It would be nice, though. It would make local running easier. :) The rename might not be that bad as long as no content changes in renamed files, it might be able to track though it.

This looks like a bug in cibuildwheel (or my understanding of how to specify test-sources):

test-sources = ["tools", "numpy/conftest.py", "pyproject.toml", "pytest.ini"]
