Description

If no chui-remote clients are connected, Kaocha will wait forever. You can configure a timeout, but it's not enabled by default.

This is technically correct behavior and thus, arguably, not a true hang (which implies a deadlock or other invalid state), but it isn't very friendly to people setting it up for the first time.

Research direction

No file or test is identified. Start by tracing Kaocha-cljs2's handling of chui-remote client startup and the existing timeout configuration; clarify the intended default behavior before changing it. Done should include coverage showing that a run with no connected clients no longer waits forever by default.
