[Repo Assist] ci: fail-fast Go format check and add copilot-setup-steps timeout

Summary

Two small CI workflow optimizations implementing the suggestions from issue #463 (ci-coach). These follow fail-fast principles and add a safety guard with no impact on passing builds.

Changes

1. Go Format Check: Fail Fast Before Build & Test

Moved the gofmt format check step to run immediately after actions/setup-go in build-go, before go mod download, go build, and go test.

Before:

setup-go → go mod download → go build → go test → gofmt check
```

**After:**
```
setup-go → gofmt check ← fails here immediately if unformatted
         → go mod download → go build → go test

Impact: ~1–2 minutes saved per run when formatting is wrong. The format check only needs the Go toolchain (already installed by setup-go), so failing early avoids downloading all dependencies and compiling.

2. copilot-setup-steps: Add timeout-minutes: 10

Added timeout-minutes: 10 to the copilot-setup-steps job. Without this, a hung dependency install or network issue could consume a runner for the default 6-hour GitHub Actions limit. All four language runtimes install in well under 5 minutes.

Closes

Implements the suggestion from issue #463.

Test Status

✅ No test changes; workflow YAML is syntactically valid (diff reviewed).
These changes only affect step ordering and add a safety timeout — no logic changes to the build process itself.

Subject: [PATCH] ci: fail-fast Go format check and add copilot-setup-steps
 timeout

Move gofmt check before go mod download/build/test in build-go job so
formatting failures are caught immediately (~1-2 min savings on failure).

Add timeout-minutes: 10 to copilot-setup-steps job to prevent runaway
runner consumption on network issues or hung dependency installs.

Implements suggestion from #463.
