fix(install): increase WaitUntilAvailable timeout from 5m to 10m

[apahim]

Problem

On GKE Autopilot clusters, the HyperShift operator deployment may take longer than 5 minutes to roll out because Autopilot needs to scale up nodes before pods can be scheduled. This causes hypershift install --wait-until-available to fail with:

failed to wait for operator deployment: client rate limiter Wait returned an error: context deadline exceeded

This is one of the root causes of the e2e-v2-gke CI flakiness:
https://prow.ci.openshift.org/job-history/gs/test-platform-results/pr-logs/directory/pull-ci-openshift-hypershift-main-e2e-v2-gke

Fix

Increase the WaitUntilAvailable context timeout from 5 minutes to 10 minutes in cmd/install/install.go. This accommodates GKE Autopilot cold-start scheduling latency without affecting non-Autopilot environments (the wait returns as soon as the deployment is available).

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Increased the installation wait time to up to 10 minutes, improving reliability for slower operator deployments and endpoint availability.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

WaitUntilAvailable now allows 10 minutes instead of 5 minutes for operator deployment rollout and endpoint availability. The change documents the additional time required for GKE Autopilot node scaling.

Suggested reviewers: clebs, csrwng, enxebre

Mergeability Score: ⚪ Minimal · up to 1a5c1

The install wait timeout increases from 5 to 10 minutes to accommodate slower cluster scheduling while returning immediately when the deployment is ready; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains.
