…p race (bd openlock-eh8) (#55) post-create-exec-proxy.test.ts was the one echo-mode integration test still on bare `curl -sf`, missing the `--retry 5 --retry-all-errors` hardening its siblings (harness-cred-inject, openrouter-opencode-cred-inject) received in #38. That gap is why it became the recurring exit-56 flake locus on #52/#53/#54. exit 56 = curl CURLE_RECV_ERROR from the in-container echo proxy on first egress, relayed faithfully through ssh (ssh's own transport failures are 255, never 56) — NOT an ssh transport drop as previously suspected. `curl -s` was muting curl's error, which presented as "empty stdout/stderr". - add `--retry 5 --retry-all-errors --retry-delay 1` to the post-create exec test - switch all three flaking tests `-sf` -> `-sSf` so a retries-exhausted failure surfaces curl's real error instead of being silently muted bd openlock-eh8

Summary
The
live-integration (podman)job installs podman 5.x from the alvistack OBS repo via thedownload.opensuse.orgmirror redirector. The redirector routes apt to regional mirrors that intermittently serve half-synced.debs, so apt rejects them (File has unexpected size … Mirror sync in progress?, exit 100) and the job fails before any openlock code runs. This blocked PR #52 on three consecutive runs (2026-05-30, all onslc-mirror.opensuse.org). It's a well-known openSUSE mirror-infra issue (MirrorCache#600, containers/podman#14278) — not our code;apt-get update/--fix-missingdon't fix it.Fix
downloadcontent.opensuse.org(openSUSE's canonical content host) instead of the mirror redirector. Its index and packages are always mutually consistent — eliminating the mid-sync class at the source.
