What is the recommended way to persist a project directory between execution environments in AWX?

I want to mount a directory from the AWX container (for example: `/var/lib/awx/projects/proj1`) into the execution Podman node, so that:

- Any changes made to the directory by one execution node are available to subsequent execution nodes.

First result from googling “awx persist project directory”, unless you’ve tried this and it doesn’t fulfill a specific aspect of what you’re trying to do:
