+fix(test-infra): restore build timeout to 120s and remove OPTIMIZATION_REPORT.md
+
+Restore the build command timeout from 60s back to 120s in the actor context management test suite. The original comment explains this was raised specifically for pabot cold-start with 16 parallel processes + Alembic migration overhead.
+Reducing to 60s caused integration_tests CI failures.
+
+Also remove OPTIMIZATION_REPORT.md from the repository root as it is not an appropriate location for documentation files.
+
+Rebase PR branch against master to pick up recent fixes.
