Cold auth OAuth-callback latency (signup / create-project specs, ~30-90s)
#1601 fixed the cold-slot create saga (create-project.spec now passes on
fresh slots), but the auth OAuth callback path is still slow on freshly
deployed slots: specs/signup.spec.ts ("can sign up with an email one-time
passcode") failed all 3 attempts at ~33s each on a fresh preview slot
(2026-07-02, PR #1589 validation) — the browser parked on
/api/iterate-auth/callback past its budget. tasks/os-cold-create-latency.md
flagged this as the "same family, second data point": the callback (token
exchange / auth DO / os-side fetch) is cold on first touch.
This is the last thing making preview e2e red on a truly-cold slot; the vitest engine lane is green. Fix it similarly to #1601 (heal/warm the cold path, batch/parallelize, or restore a sane budget) so signup + first-org onboarding land within the spec timeout on fresh deploys.
