Description
Recently, it was very random on whether the build workflow would be able to start and provision the VM, resulting early on in the following error:
The guest machine entered an invalid state while waiting for it
to boot. Valid states are 'starting, running'. The machine is in the
'gurumeditation' state. Please verify everything is configured
properly and try again.
Locally, it builds perfectly fine.
I have already tried:
- Restarting the failing jobs multiple times.
- Deleting the cache (did not help, it just gets the boxes again)
- Changing the github runner from
macos-12tomacos-13or toubuntu-latest. Both don't seem to have Vagrant installed.

Research direction
Start with .github/workflows/build.yml and run the build workflow on the affected GitHub runners, focusing on when provisioning reaches the reported “gurumeditation” state. Compare the runner behavior with the successful local build; done means the workflow reliably starts and provisions the VM.
