ci: raise unit-test matrix shard timeout 15 -> 20 min

Shard 4 runs ~14.5 min on master (dream.test.ts at ~29s/test dominates
its wallclock) and hit the 15-min job timeout twice on this PR with
1328 tests passing and 0 failing — the gate then failed on
'gated job did not succeed (got cancelled)'. Real fix is re-mining
scripts/test-weights.json to rebalance the shards; this unblocks CI.
