The rescue artifact is a tarball of whatever the collectors managed to grab, so
reading a failed run meant downloading it to find out which files exist at all.
Run rescue_index.sh right after each collection instead, so the job log names
the tree the artifact contains.
All four sites call it without a fallback, which is what the preceding commit's
exit-status contract is for. host_deploy.sh and one.sh hoist the rescue path
into a variable first - it is now needed twice, once for the collector's
INFINITO_RESCUE_DIAGNOSTICS_DIR and once for the index.

guide_select picked the role, the mode and the distro in one draw, so a run proved the README instructions worked on exactly one randomly chosen distribution. The distro list was also a literal in the workflow, which meant the manual-CI distros input never reached the guide at all.
The distro draw is removed. guide_select still picks the role and derives the mode, while the shared loop from 1bbe7a0eb drives the distro dimension, and ci-orchestrator forwards its distros input.
The four mode-specific steps collapse into guide/one.sh, which the loop runs once per distro: it renders the pkgmgr base image for the current distro, then either execs host_deploy.sh or brings the compose server up and replays the README block against it.
one.sh releases the compose server in an EXIT trap. Without it the second distro would start against the stack the first one left behind. Rescue diagnostics gain a distro segment for the same reason the swarm collectors did.
The job timeout goes from 90 to 345 minutes because up to five rounds now have to fit; the loop's own budget still decides how many actually run.
