Extend retention period for dist-artifactsΒ #305

@xnyo

Description

@xnyo

dist-artifacts (built plugin) has a retention period of 7 days:

This artifact is used for GCS upload and, more importantly e2e tests.

This can cause issue if the workflow fails and the failing steps are re-run after 7 days (especially for the e2e tests, which are prone to failing).

For example: https://github.com/grafana/grafana-dbo11y-app/actions/runs/17735353829/job/51204238118

The workaround is retrying the workflow from start to finish, which will force the plugin to be re-built and re-uploaded (so reset the retention period). However, the retention period should be extended to allow retrying e2e tests after 7 days from the original workflow run. It would also be nice to print a message explaining that the workflow should be re-run instead of this generic Artifact not found for name message, which is not clear.
