[Feature Request] Make AskUserQuestion timeout configurable
Bug Description
Feature request: make the AskUserQuestion / interactive prompt timeout configurable (or longer)
When Claude asks me a question via the interactive selection dialog (e.g. during plan mode), it times out after ~60 seconds if I haven't answered. On timeout the model is told "no response, proceed with best judgment" and continues on its own — so from my side it looks like it auto-picks a default and moves on without me.
This is a problem when I step away briefly or need time to think: I lose control of the decision. The SDK docs say interactive input "waits indefinitely," which doesn't match the CLI's actual behavior.
Request: either make this timeout configurable (settings.json key or env var), significantly increase it, or make it re-ask instead of auto-proceeding.
