Research direction

Start by locating the BZInfo test and identifying the external access that can cause its timeout. Add the requested mocks, then run the test repeatedly to verify it completes reliably without timing out.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

The test is prone to timeout. Maybe if we had mocks for it it wouldn't timeout so often.
