CLI stuck showing "Waiting for reboot" #303

@C-mil3-Man

Description

@C-mil3-Man

When using colmena apply --reboot, one or more nodes remain stuck with the message:

12m Waiting for reboot

Even though the target system appears to have rebooted successfully and is reachable via SSH independently.

Example output:


dns-int-se-01 ✅ Will be activated next boot
dns-int-se-01 🔁 22m Waiting for reboot

Expected behavior:

Colmena should detect that the node has rebooted and continue the deployment, rather than hanging indefinitely.

Environment:

Colmena version: 0.4.0

OS: NixOS

Affected node(s): e.g. dns-int-se-01

Command: colmena apply --on @dns-machine  --reboot

SSH: IP-based, no DNS resolution issues

Additional context:

The target host is reachable via SSH while Colmena is hanging

Other nodes reboot and resume fine

No firewall or networking changes during deployment

Systemd logs indicate that reboot happened cleanly
