# VM boot / image provisioning flakes transiently (SSH hostname not
# resolvable). Retry the whole VM step up to 3x; each attempt uses its
# own guest name so a leftover domain from a failed boot does not
# collide with the next attempt ("Guest name ... is already in use").
# The retry `if:` must NOT rely on the implicit success() status
# function - after attempt 1 fails (continue-on-error) that is false
# and silently skips the later attempts. Use !cancelled().
