Diagnosis (assistant 091a9180, pulled actual canary logs from Gitea storage)

This is a flaky provisioning-latency issue, not a regression-introduced bisectable failure.

Last 15 staging SaaS canary runs alternate success/fail without a clean green→red transition:

Run SHA Status
93131 01087ddb success
93032 7fb0da3e FAIL
93007 805486e3 success
92971 8b8b3320 success
92936 bad66993 success
92916 8c3234e4 success
92896 741bb110 FAIL
92868 3a82e1f1 success
92842 f7183cc0 FAIL
92819 680434a8 success
92706 65f4ffb0 FAIL
92667 6f98ac06 success

Most recent failure (run 93032 / task 145341) logs show the canary makes it through:

  • CP healthy ✓
  • Tenant org created ✓
  • Tenant provisioning completes (running) ✓
  • Per-tenant admin token retrieved ✓
  • TLS / DNS propagation ✓
  • Parent + child workspace POSTs accepted ✓

Then hits step 7/11 Waiting for workspace(s) to reach status=online (up to 30 min — hermes cold boot) with PARENT at status=provisioning — and the job times out before workspace transitions to online. Log truncates at the 30-min timeout boundary.

Root cause class: provisioning latency variance. Some runs the workspace EC2 + container boot finishes within 30 min, some it doesn't. The 30-min timeout is the script's MAX (E2E_PROVISION_TIMEOUT_SECS default — see test_staging_full_saas.sh 7/11 step). When tenant provisioning takes >30 min, the canary fails — but the workspace itself eventually does come online (just past the timeout).

Not a code regression. The same SHA could pass and fail on re-run.

Recommended next step

Not a bisect target. Two paths:

  1. Quick mitigation: raise the 30-min timeout to e.g. 45 min — eats more CI time but eliminates the flap until root-caused. Cheap, reversible.
  2. Real fix: investigate provisioning latency distribution. Pull provisioned_at - status=running from org_instances for the last N tenant orgs, plot p50/p95/p99. If p95 is approaching 30 min, the canary is structurally too tight. Likely culprits: cold AMI pull, cloudflared tunnel registration race, secrets.d hydration. RFC-worthy.

Engineer-B's bisect approach won't find a culprit (no clean transition) — recommend rescoping its task to (a) compute the latency histogram from org_instances, (b) propose timeout adjustment OR (c) identify the slowest provisioning step.
