Cypress verification timed out.

Why this happens

• The CI runner is short on CPU or memory, and the Electron smoke test is slow to start
• Required Linux system libraries (Xvfb, libgtk, libnss3, etc.) are missing, so the binary hangs instead of starting
• The Cypress binary cache was restored from a different OS or Cypress version and is broken

How to fix it

1. Raise the verify timeout with the `CYPRESS_VERIFY_TIMEOUT` environment variable (in milliseconds)
2. Run in the official `cypress/included` or `cypress/browsers` Docker image, which already has every system dependency
3. Key the binary cache (`~/.cache/Cypress`) on OS and Cypress version, and run `npx cypress verify` as its own CI step to see its full output

Example

              # GitHub Actions
env:
  CYPRESS_VERIFY_TIMEOUT: 120000
steps:
  - run: npx cypress verify
  - run: npx cypress run
