From time to time, but way too often, installing PHP 8.4 exits with an error and tests fail because of this:
HTTP Error 504: Gateway Time-out
There should be a kind of recovery mechanism to retry a second time after some delay or using a cache before finally failing.
The error could also be handled better such as using try/catch reducing the output for "known errors" (504) and a full printout as we do now for unknown catches.
Note, maybe we are hitting a kind of rate limit to download resources and get rejected therefore.
PHP 8.4 is used in MANY of the API tests...?
