Code Review
This pull request refactors the image provisioning process by splitting it into two distinct stages: a network-dependent 'fetch' stage and a network-isolated 'configure' stage. This change allows for independent retries of network-heavy operations via a new 'build-fetch' command in the Justfile, improving CI reliability against transient failures. A logic error was identified in the new 'provision-configure.sh' script where the root user's configuration was being deleted immediately after creation due to the order of operations and the use of symbolic links for the home directory.
Our CI is long and flakes are painful, especially with merge queues. Let's take a heavy hammer and refactor all network-fetched resources into a clearly separate stage, and then we have a fully enforced retry loop for those that has even longer timeouts in CI.
