Unable to use polkit agents

[RossSmyth]

Bug description

1. On all of my NixOS computers I use run0 rather than sudo, except on WSL on my work laptop.
2. Attempting to run pkexec results in failed auth:

❯ pkexec ls
==== AUTHENTICATING FOR org.freedesktop.policykit.exec ====
Authentication is needed to run `/run/current-system/sw/bin/ls' as the super user
Authenticating as: rsmyth
Password:

** (process:5638): WARNING **: 16:27:17.960: Unknown line 'polkit-agent-helper-1: error response to PolicyKit daemon: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.Error.Failed: No session for cookie' from helper
==== AUTHENTICATION FAILED ====
Error executing command as another user: Not authorized

This incident has been reported.

or run0

❯ run0 ls
Failed to start transient service unit: Access denied as the requested operation requires interactive authentication. However, interactive authentication has not been enabled by the calling program.

3. I have asked for help several times on Matrix, and have been told to use polkit agents. I have tried several different agents and so far none have worked. I would hope that the built-in ttyagent would be fine. I've also tried various configurations with polkit and so far nothing has worked.

To Reproduce

I think this is probably a general wsl2 problem, rather than just on NixOS-WSL. I'm on Ubuntu and have tried to get run0 working, the easiest way I've found is to do machinectl shell on shell init, but that has some other problems (for example not maintaining WSL_INTEROP and WT_SESSION). This is probably the relevant issue: microsoft/WSL#9213
