The 1x gate is green; the 5x failed iters 1-2 on readiness-under-churn (apps DO
recover — lnd synced, mempool just mid-restart when probed — but slower than the
windows when restarted back-to-back). Hardening:
- run-20x.sh: best-effort settle_stack() before each iteration (wait for
mempool-api/frontend + lnd RPC healthy, 180s, on-node, never fails the run).
- required containers present/running (80/81): wait-loops (180s) not single-shot.
- mempool api/frontend (87/88): retry ~180s not single-shot.
- mempool queryable (74): 60s->180s. lnd restart-running (64): 120s->240s.
lnd getinfo (60): 90s->240s retry.

On a proper on-node .228 run (synced bitcoin, 4-fix binary) the lifecycle matrix is
green; these 4 were test-harness issues:
- lnd 'recovers after restart' (65): bump retry window 90s->240s. lnd cold-restart
recovery (wallet unlock + bitcoind reconnect + graph sync) exceeds 90s on a loaded
node but DOES complete (synced_to_chain:true).
- bitcoin ui responds (89): retry ~120s instead of single-shot (companion nginx may
have just been recreated by the companion-survives test).
- probe_app_url (99 lnd proxy + all ui-coverage proxy probes): retry up to 90s for
post-restart proxy/UI readiness instead of single-shot.
- required endpoints after restart (94): :8081 is nginx-proxy-manager, an OPTIONAL
app (not in required_containers) — only assert it when NPM is installed; and make
the trailing lncli getinfo a retry.

lnd's RPC isn't ready until its wallet auto-unlocks on (re)start, which lags the
container 'running' state — single-shot lncli getinfo raced that window and
false-failed (gate tests 60 + 85). Retry up to ~90s like a health probe. lnd is
functional (getinfo returns cleanly once ready).
