Description

Right now, a scan can silently fail and be left in the "Started" state. Without manual intervention, this will prevent the scan from being run again indefinitely. We should enforce a timeout in order to prevent this from blocking scans indefinitely.

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by tracing the scan lifecycle and locating where scans enter and leave the "Started" state. Done means a silently failed scan cannot remain in that state indefinitely and a subsequent scan is no longer blocked.
