Description

### What is this about?

Error: Action `'https://api.github.com/repos/MetaMask/action-checkout-and-setup/tarball/1024bb1a16f282b4859a714e819f218ffde589c8'` download has timed out. Error: The request was canceled due to the configured HttpClient.Timeout of 100 seconds elapsing.

It fails 3 times, as this job seems to already have retrials in place

Research direction

Start with the Set up job in the workflow and the referenced MetaMask/action-checkout-and-setup action, then review the example Actions run for the timeout pattern. Determine a reproducible mitigation for the tarball download failure and verify that the job completes without the intermittent 100-second timeout across repeated runs.
