Problem

When an integration test fails in GitHub Actions, we often lose the Scylla-side reason for the failure because the workflow does not upload ccm/Scylla cluster logs.

Recent example: #931 / PR #913

• Run: https://github.com/scylladb/python-driver/actions/runs/29257587657
• Failed job: https://github.com/scylladb/python-driver/actions/runs/29257587657/job/86841926454
• Failed test: tests/integration/standard/test_client_routes.py::TestFullNodeReplacementThroughNlb::test_should_survive_full_node_replacement_through_nlb
• Error visible in pytest log: urllib.error.HTTPError: HTTP Error 500: Internal Server Error

The GitHub run has no artifacts:

{"total_count":0,"artifacts":[]}

The workflow also has no actions/upload-artifact step after pytest. As a result, when Scylla REST returns 500 or a node fails during topology changes, we only see the client-side stack trace and lose node logs that would explain the actual server-side failure.

Requested change

Update the integration test workflow to preserve logs on failure, at least for:

• ~/.ccm/*/node*/logs/*
• ccm cluster/node configuration useful for reproducing the run
• pytest output if it is redirected in the future
• any Scylla REST/server logs generated under the ccm cluster directory

The upload step should run with if: failure() or if: always() after pytest, and artifact names should include useful matrix dimensions, for example:

integration-logs-${{ matrix.event_loop_manager }}-${{ matrix.python-version }}

Why this matters

For #931, the failing REST request returned HTTP 500 while the test was decommissioning nodes. Without Scylla logs, we cannot tell whether the server rejected the /v2/client-routes payload, was still processing topology changes, hit an internal exception, or had another transient failure.

Preserving logs would make future CI flakes actionable instead of leaving only the Python-side urllib exception.
