Aleksei Sviridkin ad62a8d62b test(e2e): stop blocking merges on the tenant node-join deadline
The tenant node-join wait no longer discriminates. Nested
virtualisation on the shared runners degrades far enough that a guest
which registers in minutes on real hardware can miss any deadline this
test can afford, so a red on that one wait says as much about the
machine the run landed on as about the product, and it teaches a
reader to re-run the job.

The suite still fails on it. That is what keeps Chainsaw's catch
running: the previous-instance container logs, the host snapshot, the
data-plane capture and the event dump are all keyed on the test
failing, and the report stays honest. What changes is one layer up.
The wait writes a marker beside its diagnostics, and a new lane-side
gate reads that marker to decide whether the job blocks. It opens only
when every failed test in the run carries one, and blocks on anything
it cannot attribute: a report it could not read, a failed test the
report does not name, a failure with no marker.

Only the lanes that block a merge ask it. The two pull-request lanes
do; nightly and the tag lane run the same suites and stay hard. A soft
pass on the tag lane would ship a release candidate whose tenant
clusters brought up no worker nodes, and nightly is the only place an
e2e failure reaches anyone who did not open a pull request, since no
lane in this tree notifies anywhere.

A softened red finishes the job green, so the job's result stops
answering whether the suite passed, and both kinds of consumer are
handed the decision instead of inferring it. A step gated on the job
failing would silently stop running: the SSH breakpoint is that case,
and it still opens for a pull request marked for debugging. A job that
reports the result would silently start reporting a pass: the required
commit status now says the deadline was missed and that the merge is not
blocked on it, rather than that the suite passed.

The deadline goes to 29m. That is the test's own budget and nothing
more: its clock starts after the machinedeployment wait, the
LoadBalancer assignment and the healthz probe, while the chart's
autoscaler and health-check timers have been running since the Machine
was created, so no ordering against them is claimed. The chart's 20m
and 30m give a scale to pick against, and a budget over the first
leaves room for a remediation cycle without promising that one fits.

The operation ceiling both suites give the script rises with the
deadline, and the diagnostics phase budget rises inside it, because
the collectors gated ahead of the serial console cost more between
them than the old budget covered. Both budget guards read their terms
from the sources that set them. The e2e job cap rises with them, and
its guard holds what a guard can hold: the pair's operation and catch
ceilings, and one figure across every lane that runs the suite. It
also records that the suites' full summed ceilings have never fit any
cap in that file, so the margin above the bound is taken from a
measured run instead. The prose that restates the cap elsewhere moves
with it, and the sweep that holds the deadline's restatements now
reads the figure spelled in words as well as in minutes.
