does not cancel the underlying axios request

[Mystery-CLI]

File: frontend/src/App.jsx

withTimeout races a setTimeout rejection against the axios call, but when the timeout fires the axios request continues running in the background, consuming bandwidth and potentially resolving after the user has already seen an error. Pass an AbortController signal to axios and abort it when the timeout fires.

Hi team! I'd love to take this on. I will refactor the withTimeout function in frontend/src/App.jsx to utilize an AbortController. I'll pass the controller's signal to the Axios request and trigger .abort() inside the setTimeout block, ensuring the network request is actually cancelled rather than just orphaned.
