fix(design): bump image-gen timeout to 240s + pin gpt-image-2

The design binary calls /v1/responses (gpt-4o + image_generation tool,
quality:high, 1536x1024) but aborted the request after a hardcoded 120s.
That class of request consistently takes ~140-160s end-to-end, so every
generate/variants/evolve/iterate call aborted before the image returned.

In /design-shotgun this cascades: Step 3c launches N parallel agents,
each calling `$D generate`, each aborts at 120s and retries, all fail,
the comparison board never opens — the skill appears to hang indefinitely.

Reproduced the exact API call with a longer budget: HTTP 200, valid
image, 143.5s. A real /design-shotgun run after the patch generated 3
variants in parallel at 150.0s / 161.0s / 152.1s, all exit 0 — note the
161s case, which a naive 150s bump would still have failed.

- Bump AbortController timeout 120_000 -> 240_000 in generate.ts,
  variants.ts, evolve.ts, iterate.ts (both call sites)
- Pin the image_generation tool to model "gpt-image-2"

design/test/variants-retry-after.test.ts: 5 pass, 0 fail. The
feedback-roundtrip.test.ts failures are a pre-existing browse-module
breakage (session.clearLoadedHtml undefined), unrelated to this change.
