Research direction
Start by tracing FeedConnection handling from the logged feed.entry failure and inspect how ESOCKETTIMEDOUT errors propagate to the bridge. Confirm the behavior around repeated timeout failures and identify the existing error-handling or test entry point. Done means timeout failures no longer bring the bridge down and the behavior is covered by a regression test.
