Intergration tests stalling - $@300000

[kevkevinpal]

Sometimes the integration tests stalls if the docker env doesn't startup properly

We can solve this two ways
1). fail fast so rather than stalling notice that the env didn't start up correctly and just fail
2). restart the test if the env didn't startup properly

we could do 1 first and then do 2

does this have to do with stakwork/sphinx-stack#47?

Submitted PR for this bounty: #815

It adds a preflight readiness check before AVA starts and applies bounded HTTP timeouts to the shared integration test helpers, so an unavailable stack fails with explicit node errors instead of stalling.

#815

Current status from my side:

• The PR is still mergeable against current master (ebcc2e07); no rebase is needed.
• Validation already posted on the PR: npx tsc --noEmit --pretty false passed, and git diff --check origin/master...HEAD passed on head 92bae684.
• The change makes the local integration smoke path fail fast with explicit unavailable relay-node diagnostics instead of hanging indefinitely.

If this satisfies the 300,000 sats bounty, BTC payout address is:

Happy to adjust timeout/error wording if you want a different shape before merge.
