Bug

Currently, there is no control over timeouts while making internal requests in library:

  • we need to expose such control knob from functions making request
  • set reasonable default that can be controlled via env
    otherwise we may end up having issues with such components like InferencePipeline attempting to communicate with RF backend - for instance while running workflows

Research direction

Start by locating the functions that make internal requests and the InferencePipeline path that communicates with the RF backend. Trace how request settings are passed and where environment configuration could apply; the work is done when callers can control timeouts and a reasonable default is configurable through the environment.
