fix(ark): widen the startup window to 4h — 60 min never converged - #16

Conversation
The 60-minute startup window still expired on a 13GB SteamCMD install, and each restart makes SteamCMD re-verify the whole install from the top. A window that is merely close to the download time therefore never converges — it just re-verifies forever. Observed on the test cluster: the probe killed the container at 99% and it started over. Four hours gives real headroom on a slow link. Signed-off-by: valgulnecron <39313199+ValgulNecron@users.noreply.github.com>

The 60-minute startup window (added in #15) still expired on ARK's 13 GB SteamCMD install — the probe killed the container at ~99% and it started over.
The failure mode is worse than it looks: each restart makes SteamCMD re-verify the whole install from the top, so a window that is merely close to the download time never converges — it just re-verifies forever. Observed on the test cluster.
Four hours gives real headroom on a slow link.
Generalisable lesson for any SteamCMD game: size the startup window against the worst-case first-boot download, not the typical one — being 10% short is equivalent to being infinitely short.
