claude-hdb c033a26979 fix: a watched mint must move — unbuffer the dots, name the log after the box
Operator watched /tmp/new.log through a claude mint and saw not one
message: cloud-init's progress dots are block-buffered the moment
stdout is not a tty, so a redirected mint shows nothing for the whole
install and then one burst — which reads exactly like a hang, on the
very night three real hangs happened.

PYTHONUNBUFFERED=1 on the cloud-init wait makes the dots arrive as
dots; box new also prints how to watch the box's own full narration
(incus exec <box> -- tail -f /var/log/cloud-init-output.log); and the
drill's logs are named for the box being minted (/tmp/mint-drill.log),
not for the verb that mints it.
