Paul BakausandClaude Opus 5 65de2d294b Raise the skill-behavior timeout that was grading haste over thoroughness
`initialized natural build` looked like a third defect on main: sonnet began
implementation before the attended concept checkpoint, three runs in a row.
It is flaky, not broken, and the measurement setup was the larger problem.

A run that stops to put the concept to the user before building takes about
579s on sonnet. A run that skips the checkpoint and fails the assertion
finishes in 130-200s. The suite capped each test at 300s, so the thorough path
was killed as a timeout and the hasty path was graded as a result: the cap was
selecting for the behavior the scenario exists to forbid. Raised to 900s, with
the reasoning recorded next to the number so it is not trimmed back as a
mystery constant.

The baseline is corrected accordingly: the scenario is flaky (1 of 4), not
failing, and readers are told to check a duration against the cap before
calling a slow failure a behavioral one.
