Research direction

Start at the getConnection API, where the issue shows AbortSignal.timeout() being passed as signal, and inspect how timeout behavior differs across Oracle versions. Determine how AbortController cancellation should be supported consistently, then verify that the signal is accepted and cancellation works across the relevant versions.
