Subject: [PATCH] ci: add timeout-minutes to every matrix job so a hung job
 can't block merges for 6h
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The CI matrix jobs had no `timeout-minutes`, so they inherit GitHub's 360-minute (6h) default. When a
Windows `cargo test` ran slow/stuck, it left every open PR un-mergeable with no fail-fast signal — you
couldn't tell a hung job from a slow one, and nothing would end it short of the 6h cap.

Adds a generous per-job ceiling, set well above each job's observed duration so a legitimately-slow run
never false-fails, while a genuinely-hung one fails fast enough to rerun:
- rust: 90  (observed worst ~45min on Windows)
- wasm: 45
- node / pack-install: 30
- bench: 20

Config-only; no gate is weakened (a timeout only bounds runtime). YAML validated (all 6 jobs parse).
