Research direction

Start by reproducing the hang on the Arch Linux ISO version the reporter names, checking both time synchronization and keyring synchronization with and without skip ntp. The issue provides no file, failing test, or exact reproduction steps beyond those conditions, so first inspect the installer’s relevant synchronization entry points and existing tests. Done means identifying and fixing the cause of the reported hang, with a regression test.
