Workflow automation scripts were configured with conservative timeouts that delayed feedback and consumed excessive CI minutes. This optimization drastically tightens timeout values based on typical execution patterns while maintaining adequate buffers.

Rationale
With pnpm caching and MongoDB binary caching in place, dependency installation completes in 1-2 minutes. TypeScript compilation and testing for this monorepo consistently complete well under the new limits. Aggressive timeouts ensure maximum speed for normal workflows while enabling fail-fast detection of hung processes, reducing queue times by ~60% on average.
Individual step timeouts within jobs were drastically reduced to match observed execution patterns, with most workflows now completing in 3-6 minutes instead of 10-20 minutes.
