Run 14: the blank mint — the FIRST VM launch on the fresh btrfs pool,
which unpacks the image into a pool volume and takes the coldest boot —
died at wait_agent's 3-minute window ('Processes: -1' well past it),
while the identical claude mint sixty seconds later booted in the warm
path and passed in 96s. The window was tuned on a dir pool with a
cached, unpacked image.
150×2s now, and on failure box new prints the VM's console log tail
before dying — this run's evidence was torn down with the box before
anyone could read it.
