WebFetch still freezes session on hanging URLs (fix from #24684 not effective)

Context

This is a follow-up to #24684 which was closed after a contributor mentioned a fix would ship. The fix does not appear to be effective — the issue persists on the latest Claude Code version.

Current Behavior

WebFetch still freezes the entire session when a URL hangs or is unresponsive. There is no timeout, no recovery, and no way for the model to detect or abort the hang. The user must manually interrupt the session.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Use WebFetch on a URL that hangs (slow server, anti-bot protection holding the connection open)
2. The session freezes indefinitely — no output, no progress
3. Parallel WebFetch calls in the same message are also blocked

Expected Behavior

WebFetch should timeout after a reasonable duration and return an error so the model can continue working. Ideally, a timeout parameter (like the Bash tool has) would give control over the deadline.

Environment

• Claude Code: latest (installed via Homebrew)
• OS: macOS 24.6.0
• Model: claude-opus-4-6
