change:
  steps:
    # Moves steps on the retired `default` queue to `linux-small`, and adds
    # timeout_in_minutes to every command step that has none, so a hung step
    # can't hold an agent forever. Steps that set their own timeout keep it.

      timeout: 1m

    TO: linux-small
    TIMEOUT: "30"

pr:
  title: "ci: new agent queue and step timeouts"
