Set a time limit on the canonical check job (closes #120)

The canonical check workflow gave its job no time limit, so a hung
script/cibuild held the shared runner until the runner's own default.
The check job now sets timeout-minutes: 20. script/cibuild runs three
Docker builds (the lint phase, the test phase, then the image, which
runs both again), each held to the 5-minute build limit, plus the
bootstrap. REPO_POLICIES.md and both checklists name the limit among
what the workflow sets.

 # Completed Steps
 
+- 2026-10-07: The canonical `.gitea/workflows/check.yml` now sets
+  `timeout-minutes: 20` on its `check` job (issue 120), so a hung build frees
+  the shared runner instead of holding it until the runner's own limit.
+  `script/cibuild` runs three Docker builds, each held to the 5-minute Docker
+  build limit, plus the bootstrap; if that limit changes (issue 113), the value
+  follows it. `REPO_POLICIES.md` and both checklists name the limit among what
+  the workflow sets. Not yet tried on the shared runner. Repositories pick this
+  up on their next re-vendor.
 - 2026-10-06: The canonical `.gitea/workflows/check.yml` now sets
   `fetch-depth: 0` on its checkout step (issue 110), so CI fetches the history
   and tags that `git describe --tags --always` needs, and a tagged repository
