The current hosted failure fetched its index promptly but requested 116 MB of OS packages and continued downloading until the ten-minute setup alarm, before any test. Permit thirty minutes for the larger Chromium/WebKit setup only, with the sixty-minute job, transport timeouts, authentication and test gates unchanged. Retain controls against restoring the short setup cap or expanding the suite deadline.
Contract-Neutral: Hosted E2E acquisition budget and its regression controls only; no product runtime, installer, release contract or frontend-source delta.

The retained PR2697 shard waited on apt indexes for the whole one-hour job without starting a test. Bound HTTP/HTTPS acquisition and retries, reject incomplete indexes, and cap only the browser setup phase at ten minutes in all three hosted journeys. Preserve the existing repositories, authentication, browser selections and test/verdict gates.
Contract-Neutral: Hosted CI dependency acquisition only; no product runtime, installer, release contract or browser-source change.
