+        This is a workaround for a discovery readiness race condition in CI:
+        Discovery may complete (setUpClass passes) but individual app resources
+        may not yet be accessible via REST endpoints. This helper polls the
+        calibration app endpoint and skips the test if it's not available within
+        the timeout, avoiding flaky CI failures.

+        Parameters
+        ----------
+        timeout : float
+            Maximum time to wait in seconds (default: 10.0).
+        interval : float
+            Time between polling attempts in seconds (default: 0.2).
