## Title

    [Fly.io flyctl] 'tunnel unavailable' during remote builder deploy — broken WireGuard; retry with `fly deploy --wg=false`

## Body

    Cause (Documented platform behavior): flyctl reaches the remote Docker builder via a WireGuard tunnel by default; networks that block/break it cause ErrTunnelUnavailable.
    
    Fix status: documented_behavior
    
    Other error fragments:
    - A broken wireguard tunnel is disrupting your deployment. Retry your deployment with `fly deploy --wg=false` to bypass wireguard
