    ci: raise publish retry timeout to give slow Nexus uploads headroom
    
    The `publish` and `publishMicronaut` jobs wrap the Gradle publish command
    (`--no-build-cache --rerun-tasks`) in the `nick-fields/retry` action with a
    per-attempt `timeout_seconds: 1200` (20 min). That command does a full
    from-scratch recompile plus groovydoc/javadoc for 60+ modules and uploads to
    Apache Nexus, which legitimately runs ~14-20 min. When Nexus uploads are slow,
    a single attempt exceeds 20 min and is killed mid-publish; because every retry
    repeats the identical full uncached build, all 3 attempts hit the same wall and
    the job fails on a pure timeout (no build error, no Nexus exception).
    
    Raise `timeout_seconds` to 1800 (30 min) on both publish retry steps to give
    headroom for slow uploads so a single attempt is not killed mid-publish, while
    keeping `max_attempts: 3` / `retry_wait_seconds: 180` for genuine transient
    read-timeouts. Worst case (3 x 30 min + 2 x 180 s waits) is ~96 min, well under
    the GitHub Actions job limit.
