changed the title
The nightly HIL job kept failing, and recently hung for hours. Fixes: - Use the current notestation-client (v3.5.1) via the install_notestation_client action, replacing the old v2.2.0 client. The old one briefly flickered the Swan's USB test port while the board rebooted after flashing, so the tests couldn't open it and none ran. - Wait for the board's prompt and send the "start" command a few times. The board can miss a single "start" sent while its USB is still settling (~2s), which left the run hung with no output. - Add a concurrency group so a new push cancels the previous run instead of two runs fighting over the single test station. - Cap the job at 30 minutes so a stall fails fast. - Drop the "Install notecard CLI" and socat steps; the current client no longer needs them (a plain cat streams the Notecard trace). Verified on barcelona-notestation-1. Authored by Claude Code (AI agent). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
