This issue is triggered if the upgrade fails during one of the early checks inside `Coordinator.Upgrade`, for example:

3737
- The agent is not upgradeable
3838
- Capabilities check denies the upgrade

- When {agent} is tamper-protected, Endpoint must validate that the upgrade action was correctly signed by Kibana to allow the upgrade. If the signature is missing, invalid, or the connection between {agent} and Endpoint was interrupted, the validation fails. This causes the agent coordinator's override state to become stuck until the agent is restarted.
