Support timeout configuration

**Problem**
When working with routes, the error messages could be more descriptive.

**Suggestion**
Improve error handling and add detailed error messages.

**Context**
This would help with debugging and maintenance.

The issue mentions working with routes but names no files, tests, or entry points. First locate the route handling and existing error paths, then clarify whether the intended change is timeout configuration, more descriptive errors, or both. Done should mean the agreed behavior is implemented and its error messages can be verified.
