Increase Security Guard turn budget and harden integration container build reliability

[Copilot]

Security Guard runs on copilot/allowed-and-disallowed-models were failing in the agent job because the Claude harness hit error_max_turns (Reached maximum number of turns (4)) before completion. This updates the workflow turn budget so the guard can complete multi-step review flows without changing review scope.

Additionally, this PR addresses a failing Integration Tests check caused by a transient Docker Hub timeout during local image builds in Container & Ops Tests.

• Workflow runtime budget

  • Updated Security Guard engine limit in source workflow:
    • .github/workflows/security-guard.md
    • max-turns: 4 → max-turns: 6

• Compiled lock workflow parity

  • Updated generated lock values to match source:
    • .github/workflows/security-guard.lock.yml
    • Claude harness flag: --max-turns 6
    • Env var: GH_AW_MAX_TURNS: 6

• Regression guard for workflow config

  • Updated workflow config assertions:
    • scripts/ci/security-guard-workflow.test.ts
    • Expectations now validate 6 turns in both source and lock artifacts.

• Integration workflow resilience

  • Updated container build step for Container & Ops Tests:
    • .github/workflows/test-integration-suite.yml
    • Added retry logic (up to 3 attempts with backoff) when building squid and agent local images to reduce failures from transient registry/network timeouts.

Pull request overview

This PR increases the Claude engine “turn budget” for the Security Guard workflow to avoid error_max_turns termination during multi-step review flows, while keeping the workflow’s scope and checks unchanged.

Changes:

• Bumped engine.max-turns in the source Security Guard workflow from 4 to 6.
• Updated the generated lock workflow to pass --max-turns 6 and set GH_AW_MAX_TURNS: 6.
• Adjusted CI assertions to validate the updated turn limit in both source and lock artifacts.

File	Description
scripts/ci/security-guard-workflow.test.ts	Updates workflow config expectations to assert max-turns: 6 / --max-turns 6 / GH_AW_MAX_TURNS: 6.
.github/workflows/security-guard.md	Increases the Claude engine max-turns to 6 in the source workflow.
.github/workflows/security-guard.lock.yml	Keeps the compiled lock workflow in sync by updating the harness --max-turns flag and GH_AW_MAX_TURNS.
