Current review follow-up

Empty and whitespace-only request-timeout settings now use the 10,000 ms default; an explicit "0" remains zero. Three blank-setting regressions fail on the prior PR head and pass after this correction. The surrounding API and retry suites pass 89 tests.

Exact current head 77bd6dfc69fdf28c28783c2be2faea65be228e57 passes the independent Node 22/Linux full suite with coverage: 5,861 passed, zero failed, zero skipped, plus typecheck, build, duplication guard, critical-only bundle audit and diff checks. Final-head logs, job deadline-blank-configuration. The earlier commit results below are historical, not reused for this follow-up.

Summary

Fixes #398.

Table discovery requests lack the query path deadline. A stalled metadata request can keep initialization waiting indefinitely instead of yielding the existing non-cacheable unknown result.

Apply the native request timeout while fetching metadata and consuming the response body. Return the non-cacheable fallback on timeout rather than retrying an expired request. Normalize invalid configuration to the existing default, preserve zero, truncate fractional values and cap oversized finite delays at the supported timer range.

Regression evidence

The original stalled-fetch regression fails on unchanged code. Prior-candidate negative controls additionally exposed malformed/overflowing timeouts. The final branch passes nine deadline regressions and 86 scoped SDK tests, covering fast successful queries, defaults, zero, invalid values, pre-header stalls and response-body stalls. The tests use native abort signals with controlled network boundaries.

Version Bump

No release requested. Package versions, dependencies, lockfiles and release workflows are unchanged.

Test plan

  • Negative controls reproduce the defect before the fix.
  • Focused regressions and adjacent tests pass.
  • Exact commit 30a44e35c3e0fef956a92b907cadbfe83f7f0551 passes the independent Node 22/Linux full suite with coverage, zero failed and zero skipped tests.
  • Typecheck, build, duplication guard, critical-only OpenClaw bundle audit and diff checks pass in the same gate.

Exact commands and retained artifacts, job runtime-table-fetch-deadline. This checks the branch independently, not only a combined branch.

Limits

The deadline remains per attempt rather than a total budget across all retryable HTTP responses. Tests use synthetic network boundaries, not a live service. This does not duplicate semaphore cancellation in #375 or promise cancellation of an implementation that ignores its AbortSignal.

The unchanged full macOS baseline has 19 failures and 10 skips; a clean full macOS suite is not claimed. No live models, customer transcripts, real credentials or user installations are used by the regression tests.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Added configurable timeouts for query and table-discovery requests.
    • Invalid, negative, fractional, excessively large, or non-numeric timeout settings are handled safely.
    • Timed-out table-discovery requests now stop promptly instead of retrying or returning unreliable results.
    • Successful responses continue to receive the configured timeout protection.
    • Default timeout behavior is preserved when no valid setting is provided.

Table discovery is used by session-start and initialization gates, but its metadata GET had no application deadline. A stalled response could hold those paths past the configured query budget and prevent the non-cacheable fallback from running. Reuse the existing timeout setting and return the untrusted sentinel on timeout while preserving ordinary HTTP and network retries.\n\nConstraint: Keep real-empty workspaces cacheable and retain retry behavior for ordinary transient responses.\nRejected: Retry timed-out metadata requests | each attempt is already known to have exceeded the configured application budget.\nConfidence: high\nScope-risk: narrow\nReversibility: clean\nDirective: Keep table-discovery timeout behavior aligned with query() if the shared request policy changes.\nTested: Baseline regression red; scoped table-timeout regression green; Deeplake API and retry suites 78 passed; typecheck; build; diff check.\nNot-tested: Full repository suite and live Deeplake service.
Normalize the shared query timeout before constructing native abort signals so table discovery still reaches healthy backends when configuration is malformed. Preserve the documented default and zero semantics, truncate fractional milliseconds, and cap finite delays at Node's signed timer maximum.

Constraint: AbortSignal.timeout accepts unsigned delays above the underlying signed timer range but Node converts them to a 1ms timer.
Rejected: Clamp to AbortSignal's 32-bit unsigned validation maximum | delays above 2147483647 overflow the underlying Node timer and expire immediately.
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Reversibility: clean
Directive: Keep timeout parsing lazy because OpenClaw populates its tuning dispatch after module import.
Tested: Node 22 scoped Vitest 3 files/86 tests; npm run typecheck; npm run build; git diff --check
Not-tested: Full Linux repository suite; coordinator-owned per campaign instructions

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The API normalizes HIVEMIND_QUERY_TIMEOUT_MS, applies native abort signals to table discovery, and returns a non-cacheable fallback after timeout. Tests cover configuration values, successful fetches, stalled headers, and stalled response bodies.

Changes

Table discovery timeout handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Timeout configuration and normalization
src/deeplake-api.ts, tests/shared/deeplake-api-table-timeout.test.ts
The API defines default and maximum timeout values. It truncates finite values, preserves zero, clamps oversized values, and defaults invalid values. Tests verify these cases and isolate environment state.
Abortable table discovery
src/deeplake-api.ts, tests/shared/deeplake-api-table-timeout.test.ts
Table discovery passes an AbortSignal.timeout() signal to fetch. Timeout failures return the non-cacheable sentinel without retrying. Tests cover stalls before headers and during response-body consumption.
