Optimize original template to fit under 16KB limit

Instead of using a separate compact template, optimized the original
template by:
- Simplifying the termination check script (3.4KB -> 0.5KB)
- Reducing job hook scripts to minimal versions
- Removing verbose logging and debug output
- Using shorter variable names in scripts

Reduced template size from 17.8KB to 14.2KB, well under AWS's 16KB
userdata limit while maintaining all essential functionality.
