with texmfcnf.lua and the contextbinary from just hte TeX Live infrastructure
there is an interesting conflict with the same ol' same ol' 

anyhow

[2/2, 00:02/02:56] install: context [92021k]
running mktexlsr ...
done running mktexlsr.
running mtxrun --generate ...
done running mtxrun --generate.
running context --luatex --generate ...
done running context --luatex --generate.
running updmap-sys ...
done running updmap-sys.

then

context <file>

mtxrun          | unknown script 'mtx-context.lua' or 'mtx-mtx-context.lua'

context --luatex --generate 

mtxrun          | unknown script 'mtx-context.lua' or 'mtx-mtx-context.lua'

same as with

context --generate

mtxrun          | unknown script 'mtx-context.lua' or 'mtx-mtx-context.lua'

so it's an either or. texmfcnf.lua in place mtxrun would definitely
go through but breaks context calls, while without it, a context call
is just ostracized to a

context --generate --luatex
mtx-context     | redirect luametatex -> luatex: luatex --luaonly 
"/opt/texlive/2023/bin/x86_64-linux/mtxrun.lua" --generate --redirected

but that's not what I had in mind.

mtxrun --script cache --erase

mtxrun          | unknown script 'cache.lua' or 'mtx-cache.lua'
