[WIP] Fix error during OCI image container pull

[Copilot]

Plan: Address GitHub Actions Container Pull Timeout Error

Understanding the Error

The error "prepare runner filesystem: Error pulling container: rpc error: code = Unavailable desc = pull OCI image: context deadline exceeded" is a GitHub Actions infrastructure issue that occurs when:

• GitHub Actions runners fail to pull required container images within the default timeout
• Network connectivity issues between GitHub Actions and container registries
• This is typically a transient issue, not a code problem

Mitigation Strategies (Minimal Changes)

• Analyze the current workflow configuration
• Add explicit timeout configurations to jobs to allow more time for container pulls
• Add retry logic for critical workflow steps
• Add job-level timeout-minutes to prevent indefinite hangs
• Document the error and mitigation strategies in workflow comments
• Consider adding workflow_dispatch triggers for manual retries
• Test the changes to ensure they don't break existing workflows

Notes

• This is an infrastructure issue, not a code bug
• The solution involves making workflows more resilient to transient failures
• Changes will be minimal and focused on timeout/retry configurations
