Pairs with molecule-core PR #2473 (run_executor_smoke now consults
runtime_wedge.is_wedged() at the end of every result path).
10s smoke timeout was shorter than claude-agent-sdk's 60s
initialize() handshake — when a malformed CLI argv made the SDK
spin on init (PR #25 in claude-code template), the outer wait_for
fired first, run_executor_smoke saw "execution proceeding past
imports → timeout → PASS" and shipped the broken image to GHCR.
Bumping to 90s lets the SDK time itself out, the executor's wedge
catch arm runs, and runtime_wedge.mark_wedged() flips the flag
that smoke_mode now reads. Outer `timeout` bumped to 120s — the
runner-level safety net stays slightly longer than the inner cap
so a smoke_mode regression that doesn't terminate surfaces as exit
124 with a clear error, not just exit 1.
Step comment names this calibration explicitly so a future
contributor doesn't shrink it back without injecting a wedge in
the smoke_mode unit tests first. Error message references
runtime_wedge so a failure-mode reader knows where to look.
