Problem
aztec testusesnc -zto poll for TXE server readiness, but redirects all output to/dev/null. Whenncis not installed, the "command not found" error is swallowed, the loop treats it as "server not ready yet", and sleeps forever with no output.Both macOS and most Linux distributions ship with
ncpre-installed, but some bare Docker images (e.g.ubuntu:24.04) do not, which is where this surfaces.Fix
Adds a
command -v nccheck before the polling loop, failing immediately with a clear error message if netcat is missing.Fixes F-571
