Without timeouts, a slow/dead-TCP upstream (e.g. github tarballs)
hangs the runner indefinitely. Today run 15185 mpv-fourier-debian
sat 6+ min on "curl -sSLfo mpv.tar.gz https://github.com/.../mpv-0.41.0.tar.gz"
with no progress visible — fermis act_runner blocked, slot unusable
for parallel work.
--connect-timeout 10 fails fast if upstream is unreachable
--max-time 600 caps worst-case at 10 min per fetch
--retry 3 handles transient flakes
--retry-delay 5 gives transient outages a moment
Patched in: claude-his-agent, daedalus-v4l2, daedalus-v4l2-dkms,
libva-v4l2-request-fourier, lmcp, mpv-fourier. ffmpeg-v4l2-request-fourier
has no curl call.
