Research direction

Start at the DeepSeek client call in the FastAPI request path and trace how upstream exceptions become API responses. Add a focused timeout-failure test and verify that finite, configurable request timeouts produce a controlled API error.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

good first issue

Problem

The DeepSeek client call has no explicit timeout, so an upstream network problem can hold an API request indefinitely.

Acceptance criteria

  • Configure a finite timeout for model requests.
  • Make the value configurable if appropriate.
  • Add a test that confirms timeout failures become a controlled API error.
