The test relied on force-disconnecting l2 from l3 to make the cheap route fail. Whether that failure happened depended on timing: the disable channel_update for l2<->l3 could reach l1 before it computed the route, in which case l1 never tried the cheap route and only one payment was recorded. This was seen as a CI flake.

Instead, run l2 with the fail_htlcs plugin so it rejects the forward on purpose. The first attempt always fails and the retry via l4 always succeeds.

Also rename the variable that holds the successful payment from failed to success.

Changelog-None
