Research direction

Start by comparing the linked successful and timed-out GitHub Actions jobs, focusing on the git node land --autorebase --yes --oneCommitMax step on the ubuntu-slim runner. Reproduce or trace why the operation is canceled after 15 minutes; done means the command completes within its usual runtime on ubuntu-slim.
