Polarion: CNV-5235

Issue

Test fixture alter_np_configuration times out waiting for pods after HCO node placement update. The wait_for_pods_running() function uses 120-second timeout, insufficient for virt-api pod rolling update when rescheduling to different nodes.

Evidence

• ReportPortal AI: "Automation Bug" (69% confidence)
• Pattern: 99.6% match with 3 previous failures
• Must-gather: Cluster recovered in ~138 seconds (18s after test timeout)

Fix

File: utilities/infra.py:339

        samples = TimeoutSampler(
            wait_timeout=TIMEOUT_5MIN,  # was TIMEOUT_2MIN
            sleep=TIMEOUT_5SEC,
            func=get_pods,
            ...
        )
