Subject: [PATCH] ci: add retry logic and electron caching to all test jobs

Make yarn install resilient to transient network failures by adding retry loop (3 attempts), network timeout/concurrency flags, and caching electron binaries across runs. Fixes intermittent "server aborted pending request" errors on Mac Apple Silicon CI runner.
