Discovery issue — release-blocker

PR #1211 increases CI timeouts to fix cold runner timeouts. But PR #1211 itself runs CI against main-branch settings (10m go test, 15m job ceiling, no golangci-lint connectivity test). CI/Platform(Go) fails on PR #1211 with cold runner timeout, preventing #1211 from landing.

Impact: All PRs with cold runner CI failures blocked until #1211 lands:

  • #1220 (KI-010): Platform(Go) failing after 18m9s
  • #1195 (push notifications): Platform(Go) failing after 19m5s
  • #1211 itself

Root cause: CI runs against the base branch (main), not the PR head. PR #1211 changes CI config, so CI on #1211 uses mains old timeouts.

Resolution options:

  1. Admin merge #1211 despite CI failure (infrastructure failures, not code; human reviewers have signed off)
  2. Re-trigger CI when runner warms up
  3. Land connectivity fix as a smaller separate PR first
  4. Human admin bumps main job ceiling temporarily
