6-login.sh has no retry limit — loops indefinitely on kind when login fails #222

Description

@mobs75

testing/tests/6-login.sh has no fixed retry limit when login repeatedly fails on kind, causing an apparently infinite loop instead of an explicit failure after N attempts.

Suggested fix: add a maximum retry counter with an explicit FAIL exit once the threshold is exceeded, rather than retrying forever.

Note: in my case the underlying login failures were actually caused by a local filesystem permissions issue (bin/compile / lib/launcher.py missing the execute bit for 'others') rather than a real login endpoint problem — but regardless of root cause, a script that can loop forever without ever failing explicitly seems worth fixing on its own, since it turns any underlying issue into a hang instead of a diagnosable failure.
