Normal matrix jobs finish in 7-14 minutes, but a hung test run currently burns GitHub's 6-hour default job timeout before failing — observed on main and again on a PR run today, both stuck inside the time-skipping pytest pass on macos-arm. Fail hangs fast instead.

build-lint-testmatrix jobs finish in 7–14 minutes, but the workflow sets notimeout-minutes, so a hung test run burns GitHub's 6-hour default before failing. This has bitten at least twice — a 360-minute job on a recentmainrun, and a 4.5-hour hang today on #363's rerun (both stuck inside the time-skipping pytest pass on macos-arm) — blocking PRs for hours per incident.timeout-minutes: 30gives 2–4× headroom over the observed normal maximum while failing hangs in minutes instead of hours. The underlying macos-arm time-skipping hang is worth its own investigation; this just stops it from costing 6 runner-hours and a stuck PR each time it fires.
