apt sat on a dead mirror until the job timeout twice in one day. The mirror is pinned to one that answers, and retries, lock waits and each call are bounded.

Two things that read as build failures and are not.
An apt call that does not bound how long it waits for the dpkg lock blocks with
no output until the job timeout kills it, which is what ended a documentation
build on #86 after its full hour. Every call now bounds the wait.
The compiler cache stores a new entry on every run, and no other pull request
can read it, so six open ones filled the 10 GB the repository gets. What that
evicted was the conan package caches, which are the expensive ones to rebuild.
Only main writes the compiler cache now; pull requests read what it leaves.
