Description

Type: bug

Raw note from triage:

There is a bug with the questions surfaced through the wizard. It will wait for tool call to return. If the user takes too long, it will just continue, which is not great. There should be a graceful: oops I waited too long time out instead of continuing on a guess or dropping things with a random error.

Research direction

Start by tracing how wizard questions wait for tool calls and how the timeout or error is currently handled. Reproduce a delayed response, then make the behavior end with a clear graceful timeout instead of continuing with a guess or emitting a random error.
