ci(nightly): Mirror images to GHCR fails on ghcr write_package, so the nightly e2e has not run since 2026-09-15 #4423

Description

The nightly workflow has been red since 2026-09-15, and since then it stops at the "Mirror images to GHCR" job, so the full e2e suite has not run on main for nine nights. Before that, 2026-09-04 to 2026-09-14 failed in "E2E (full suite)".

The mirror step fails on a ghcr.io write, not on the source side. On 2026-09-15 to 2026-09-18 it was opensearch-operator, and from 2026-09-20 it is cluster-api-provider-kubevirt:

level=fatal msg="writing blob: initiating layer upload to /v2/cozystack/cozystack/cluster-api-provider-kubevirt/blobs/uploads/ in ghcr.io: denied: permission_denied: write_package"

2026-09-19 failed differently, with authenticating creds for ..., so that night has its own cause.

The package changing from one night to the next fits a per-package permission problem: the workflow token has no write access to a package that hack/nightly-mirror.sh pushes to, and once one package is fixed, the next one in the list fails. I have not checked the package settings on ghcr.io, so this is the likely explanation, not a confirmed one. If it holds, the fix is to give the repository's Actions write access on each first-party package under ghcr.io/cozystack/cozystack, and to make the mirror step list every package it can't write in one run instead of stopping at the first.

    "Mirror images to GHCR" has passed three nights in a row: run 36659663201 (2026-09-30), 36806044588 (2026-10-01) and 36955308949 (2026-10-02). Nightly e2e runs again, so I'm closing this. The suite reds since then are tracked separately (#4653 for the LINSTOR baseline, #4412 for opensearch).
