No timeout for stuck command

I created a basic ExpressJS server and was using Github Actions for the very first time, and in the jobs, I created two steps, one to install the dependencies: npm install and another to run the server: npm start. And since the command is not producing any output for long, I expect this to be terminated anyhow after a certain timeout. But it is running indefinitely (31 mins and counting).

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Clone this repo
2. Try running workflow manually

Expected behavior
Any command which is kinda stuck, which means not producing any output or change should be terminated after a specific period of time. More precisely, there should be a timeout for every command.

Screenshots

If this happens on a number of workflows, it may give birth to downtime for Github Actions.
I've stopped mine 🙂.

Start by cloning the repository and running the workflow manually with npm install followed by npm start; observe the command that produces no output. Define and verify timeout behavior for stuck commands, including the expected handling of long-running server processes.
