Task 01: Give the normal E2E shard a queue-safe budget

Acceptance

• The normal e2e matrix job uses a 35-minute job timeout.
• The container, desktop, report, and individual Playwright test timeouts stay unchanged.
• The workflow contract test fails if the normal queue budget regresses to the old 25-minute cap.
• The aggregate gate continues to reject cancelled jobs.

• docs/plans/merge-queue-e2e-shard-timeout/plan.md

TDD sequence

1. Add the contract assertion and run it to prove the old 25-minute workflow fails the new queue-budget requirement.
2. Change only the normal matrix timeout to 35 minutes.
3. Re-run the contract test and git diff --check.

Operational verification

The merge-group run for the pushed PR must complete the normal shard matrix, report merge, and E2E Tests Passed gate without a timeout removal event.

Implementation result

• Changed only the normal e2e matrix job from 25 to 35 minutes.
• Added the queue-budget contract assertion.
• The RED contract run failed on the old timeout; the GREEN run passed all 5 contract tests.
• git diff --check passed.
