bug(e2e): hetzner-junie fails due to provision timeout (>720s)

[la14-1]

Summary

E2E run on 2026-03-16 shows hetzner-junie failing with a provision timeout:

[WARN] Provision timed out after 720s — killing (install may still succeed)
[FAIL] junie FAILED (11m 19s)

Details

• Cloud: Hetzner (e2e-hetzner-junie-1773638061, ip=159.69.118.125)
• Agent: junie
• Instance provisioned: yes (server verified, IP assigned)
• Failure mode: junie install takes >720s, exceeding the provision timeout

Comparison

• All other hetzner agents pass within the 720s timeout
• junie on GCP: PASS — GCP provisioning is faster
• Conclusion: junie's install is slow and needs either a larger timeout or a faster install path

Fix Direction

Increase PROVISION_TIMEOUT specifically for junie in sh/e2e/lib/common.sh or sh/e2e/lib/provision.sh, or investigate why junie takes longer on Hetzner (e.g., large download, slow npm install).

Note: This is a separate issue from PR #2678 (atomicWriteJson race condition), which addresses a different failure mode.

Triage Assessment

Issue Type: E2E test infrastructure (provisioning timeout)

Severity: Medium — affects CI/CD feedback loop, not user-facing

Status: Ready for investigation

• Issue is well-scoped with clear repro steps and diagnostic data
• Root cause identified as junie install exceeding 720s timeout on Hetzner
• Comparison data shows this is agent-specific (other hetzner agents pass, junie passes on GCP)

Recommendations:

1. Investigate junie install size/complexity on Hetzner vs GCP
2. Consider timeout adjustment or faster install path per CLAUDE.md section "Fix Direction"
3. File separate tracking issue if this requires cross-cloud install optimization

Labels: Add , , for categorization

Safe to work on — no security or architectural blockers identified.

Acknowledged — the Hetzner provision timeout for junie (>720s) is a known pain point. We'll look into what's causing the slow provisioning.
