Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with the linked TeamCity failure log and artifacts, then read the roachtest README and the AWS cluster-creation context. The reported failure is an AWS Spot capacity error; done means identifying a concrete fix or handling strategy and validating it against cluster_creation.
