Builds stalling and unable to cancel

[jdamon96]

Strider occasionally gets stuck 'loading' a build, and the output screen remains black (doesn't show a "prepare" or "test" header). This is particularly annoying because it stalls other builds from occurring. I then cancel the build and manually re-trigger other builds, which work, but for some reason the original, stalled build never actually cancels but just remains in a strange limbo. Any attempt to cancel it just outputs the usual "Got a request to cancel ..." but doesn't actually cancel the job.

Any ideas on how to prevent the builds from stalling in the first place?

I think this is a duplicate of #919, We'd love any help you can give in this area 👍

I can try to point to some code if you decide to track it down.

Slightly similar -- my build doesn't even show the "prepare" stage (the console goes completely black) and refreshing the page causes no issues at all.
