Performance optimization for VM startup:
Before: Fixed 180s wait regardless of actual boot time
After: Intelligent polling with early exit when VM is ready
Implementation:
- Poll every 5 seconds (max 180s timeout)
- Check 1: VM running status in Proxmox (qm status)
- Check 2: SSH connectivity test
- Check 3: PowerShell availability (what we actually need)
- Exit immediately when all checks pass
- Progress logging every 30 seconds
- Fallback: Continue after 180s with warning
Benefits:
- Fast VM boot (30s) → saves 150s (2min 30s)
- Normal VM boot (60s) → saves 120s (2min)
- Slow VM boot → 180s (same as before)
- More robust: verifies SSH+PowerShell actually work
Average expected improvement: 60-120 seconds per test
