[Feature Request] Make AskUserQuestion timeout configurable
Bug Description
Feature request: make the AskUserQuestion 60-second timeout configurable / disable-able
Problem:
When an agent uses the AskUserQuestion tool, if I don't answer within ~60 seconds it
auto-returns "No response after 60s — continued without an answer" and the agent proceeds
WITHOUT my input. For decisions that matter, I never want the agent to move forward without
my answer — I may need more than 60 seconds to think, look something up, or step away briefly.
Today there is no way to change this: I verified against the official settings schema and there
is no settings.json key, env var, or CLI flag for it — the timeout is hardcoded.
Request:
Add a way to control this behavior, e.g.:
- a settings.json key like "askUserQuestionTimeoutSeconds" to extend the window, and/or
- a value (0 / false / "never") to disable auto-continue entirely so the question waits
indefinitely until the user responds.
Environment: Claude Code 2.1.198, macOS (darwin).
