browser.computer_use.timeout_ms must be > 0

Error message

browser.computer_use.timeout_ms must be > 0

What it means

computer_use_endpoint_url validates the computer-use sidecar configuration and rejects timeout_ms == 0, since a zero timeout would make every sidecar HTTP call fail instantly. It fires at backend resolution when browser.computer_use.timeout_ms in config.toml is unset/zero.

Solutions

1. Set browser.computer_use.timeout_ms to a positive millisecond value in config.toml.
2. Remove the zero override so the default timeout applies.
