Subject: [PATCH] ci(install-e2e): a rate-limited result chart no longer turns
 the run red

The Result chart job lists the run's jobs and artifacts through the repo's
GITHUB_TOKEN, which shares one hourly budget with every other workflow. In
a busy hour it answered "API rate limit exceeded for installation" and
failed a run whose legs were all green (36283843710, 36285499760). Retry
after 30/60/90 s. If the API still refuses, write a warning and a summary
line instead of failing. Each leg's own conclusion still stands.
