Bug Description

Increase default Bash tool timeout from 2 minutes to 10 minutes

Issue Description:
The current default timeout of 2 minutes (120,000ms) for the Bash tool is too
short for many common development tasks. This causes frequent timeouts during:

  • Package installations (npm install, pip install)
  • Build processes
  • Test suites
  • Database migrations
  • Docker operations

Requested Solution:
Either:

  1. Increase the default timeout to 10 minutes (600,000ms)
  2. Make command execution faster like Cursor IDE
  3. Allow users to configure a custom default timeout in settings

Current Workaround:
Users must manually specify timeout: 600000 for each command that might take
longer than 2 minutes.

Impact:
This timeout limitation interrupts development workflow and forces users to
restart failed operations multiple times.
