Add a global request timeout to prevent hung OpenAI API calls or slow database queries from blocking the Express server indefinitely.

Implementation:

  • Add middleware before route handlers that sets req.setTimeout(30000) and attaches a response timeout
  • Use res.setTimeout(30000, () => { res.status(504).json({ error: 'Request timeout' }) })
  • Or use connect-timeout middleware with 30s limit
  • Add integration test: mock a slow handler (>30s), verify 504 response
  • Ensure timeout does NOT interfere with Stripe webhook async processing (exclude /webhooks/* from timeout)

Acceptance: Requests exceeding 30s get 504, webhook routes exempt, test passes.
