Subject: [PATCH] ci: retry Docker Hub login to tolerate transient docker.io
 timeouts
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

One matrix job intermittently failed at the login step with
'Get "https://registry-1.docker.io/v2/": context deadline exceeded'
while sibling jobs authenticated fine with the same secrets — a
transient network blip, not a credentials problem. Replace
docker/login-action with a `docker login --password-stdin` retry
loop (5 attempts, 10s backoff) so transient failures self-heal.
