Belt-and-suspenders so no dream pass can run unchecked for hours:
- llm.complete() now always bounds the OpenAI/mi50 request: default 300s +
max_retries=0 instead of the SDK's 600s x2 (~30 min). One change bounds every
consolidation/introspection call (profile/era/narrative/reflect/think), not
just summaries. Live chat (chat_call*) is a separate path, unaffected.
- dream_cycle() enforces a 20-min wall-clock budget, checked between stages;
once past it, remaining stages are skipped, it logs 'stopped early (over
budget)', and notify.push() pings Brian. Paired with the host watchdog (A) as
an independent fallback.
Tests: default timeout/max_retries threaded into complete(); an over-budget pass
skips later stages + pings. 178 pass, ruff clean.
