Solutions

1. Set streamIdleTimeoutMs to a positive finite number no greater than the stated timer cap.

When it happens

Trigger: Thrown at packages/llm/llm-pi-ai/src/config.ts:400 when the library encounters an invalid state.

Common situations: See trigger scenarios.

Understand the failure class

• Timeouts: ETIMEDOUT, deadlines, and hung requests — what actually expires when a request times out.
