Description

Summary of the new feature / enhancement

In the Microsoft.DSC section of metadata, allow configuration to specify a timeout. It may also make sense to just have a default timeout so configuration isn't blocked indefinitely.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

Research direction

Start by locating the Rust code that parses the Microsoft.DSC metadata and starts resource operations, then trace how an operation can currently remain blocked. Clarify whether the timeout is configurable, what default applies when it is omitted, and how expiration is reported; done requires an agreed behavior and coverage for both configured and default timeouts.
