[BUG] Claude Code connections have a small timeout for CPU and a finite number of retries

Preflight Checklist

• [x] I have searched existing issues and this hasn't been reported yet
• [x] This is a single bug report (please file separate reports for different bugs)
• [x] I am using the latest version of Claude Code

What's Wrong?

See how the connection has expired 5/10 times:

It would likely fail when 10/10 would expire.

There shouldn't be such a timeout.

What Should Happen?

There should be no such timeout because the server can take a very long time on a CPU.

Claude times out after 10x 10 mins timeouts and fails the otherwise perfectly good communication with a CPU backed API endpoint that happened to be too slow:

Please fix timeouts. Make them configurable or remove them.

Here is the patch that fixes this problem:

        ${REINPLACE_CMD} \
                -e 's/var EP5=60000;/var EP5=86400000;/' \
                -e 's/API_TIMEOUT_MS||String(600000)/API_TIMEOUT_MS||String(86400000)/' \
                -e 's/DEFAULT_TIMEOUT=600000;/DEFAULT_TIMEOUT=86400000;/' \
