📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The system status reply now includes the last state-change timestamp. Configuring reconciliation retries systems in INITIALIZING and returns SystemInitializingTimeout after five minutes.

Changes

System initialization timeout

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Status timestamp and reconciliation handling pkg/nb/types.go, pkg/system/phase4_configuring.go	ReadySystemStatusReply adds LastStateChange. The configuring reconciler uses a five-minute timeout, retries while initialization continues, and returns SystemInitializingTimeout after the timeout.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 279c9

This change is intended to fail system creation after five minutes of initialization, but systems reporting no valid state-change timestamp can continue retrying indefinitely instead. Add bounded handling for that response before merge.

In `@pkg/system/phase4_configuring.go`:
- Line 236: Update the INITIALIZING reconciliation timeout check around
ReadySystemStatusReply.LastStateChange so non-positive values use a bounded
fallback timeout instead of bypassing timeout handling. Ensure omitted or
invalid last-state timestamps eventually follow the existing timeout/error path,
while preserving timestamp-based timeout behavior for positive values.
