Research direction

Start with the linked GitHub Actions run and ClientCnxRequestTimeoutQueueTest.setupClientCnx at line 63, then inspect the Commands class initialization implicated by the stack trace. Reproduce the failure in the misc tests and identify why initialization is flaky; done means the affected tests run reliably without this NoClassDefFoundError.
