Description

Just FYI.

Non critical error for me.

My Fishnet workers timed out with a non standard starting position.

Reproducibility: Re-requesting the analysis did not get a result.

Conclusion: multiple independent workers failed the analysis for this position.

FEN: 8/PPPPPPPP/nr4RN/qb4BQ/kb4BK/nr4RN/pppppppp/8 w - - 0 1

Error Message: Official Stockfish timed out in worker 1. If this happens frequently it is better to stop and defer to clients with better hardware. Context: https://lichess.org/eCenM6ln

Research direction

Start by reproducing analysis for the supplied FEN and reviewing how Fishnet workers handle Stockfish timeouts. Compare repeated requests using the linked context to determine whether the failure is specific to this non-standard position. Done means the timeout cause is identified and the worker behavior is corrected or the issue is documented as unsupported.
