Subject: [PATCH] test(shard-engine): give non-timeout corpus fixtures CI
 headroom; keep the POSIX golden off the Windows lane

Only the wall-timeout fixture keeps a 3s wall; the rest get 60s so a loaded
host cannot turn a pass into a timeout. Base and branch runners still agree
on every classification under the new walls. The Windows exclusion entry
moves the free runner's ratchet (c) residual cap to 2356 lines.
