Paul Huliganga e61ebc5b38 fix: prevent trial timeouts losing all data
Two changes:

1. Lower total_timesteps cap: 120k → 90k
   Actual throughput is 16 steps/sec (not 20 as estimated).
   120k steps = 126 min training + 9 min overhead = 135 min > 2hr limit.
   90k steps = 94 min + 8 min overhead = 102 min, safely within limit.

2. Per-segment checkpoint saves in multitrack_runner
   model.save() called after every segment so the latest weights are
   always on disk.  If the runner is killed (timeout/crash/Ctrl+C),
   training data is never completely lost.

3. Timeout rescue eval in wave4_controller
   If JOB_TIMEOUT fires and a checkpoint exists, immediately runs a
   quick mini_monaco eval on the checkpoint so the trial still produces
   a GP data point despite the timeout.
