feat(env): MYAGENT_IDLE_TIMEOUT_MS to override stream watchdog#10
Merged
Conversation
The AnthropicModelClient streams responses with a 90-second idle watchdog: if the model emits no events for that long the stream is aborted. That's the right default on Anthropic's official endpoint, but some proxies route requests through extended-thinking models (e.g. claude-sonnet-4-6 on claude.proai.love) where thinking phases can pause for minutes between visible deltas. The watchdog fires mid-thinking and the agent sees "Connection error". Add an optional `MYAGENT_IDLE_TIMEOUT_MS` env var that bumps the watchdog ceiling per session, threaded through `createAnthropicModelClientFromEnv` → `AnthropicModelClient.options .idleTimeoutMs`. Existing default and behavior unchanged. # Example for slow proxies routing through extended-thinking sonnet: $env:MYAGENT_IDLE_TIMEOUT_MS = "300000" # 5 minutes npm.cmd run myagent -- agent "<long task>" Tests added in anthropic.test.ts: `parseIdleTimeoutMs` happy path + negatives (empty / non-numeric / zero / negative), plus a smoke that `createAnthropicModelClientFromEnv` accepts valid + malformed values without throwing (malformed silently falls back to the default). Threaded through `loadEnvironment` allow-list in cli/src/index.ts so the value is picked up from `.env` too. Help text updated. CLAUDE.md note added. Local: 171 tests, 3/3 green.
