Description

I'd love to set a timeout on a per-request basis that overrides the timeout in the config. That way, individual requests can have a default timeout, while known long-running requests can disable the timeout.

Research direction

Start by locating the request timeout configuration and the request-building entry points in the repository. Trace how configured timeouts are applied, then determine how a per-request override should represent both a custom duration and disabling the timeout. Done means individual requests can override the configured timeout without changing the global setting, with coverage for both behaviors.
