Poem

🐇
A timeout once made bunnies frown,
When GitLab queries let us down.
Now set the seconds, tweak with glee—
No more errors, sync runs free!
With docs and tips, we hop ahead,
Our code is happy, well-fed!

52-54: Validate that the supplied timeout is positive

numberSchema will happily coerce "0" or a negative string.
Passing 0 disables the timeout entirely and negative numbers will be cast to NaN after the * 1000 in gitlab.ts.

-        GITLAB_CLIENT_QUERY_TIMEOUT_SECONDS: numberSchema.default(60 * 10),
+        GITLAB_CLIENT_QUERY_TIMEOUT_SECONDS: numberSchema
+            .default(600)
+            .refine((n) => n > 0, { message: "Must be > 0 seconds" }),

A one-line refine keeps the guard local and prevents subtle production mis-configs.

Add “in seconds” to prevent confusion with the millisecond value used in code.

32-33: Ignore the requestTimeout suggestion—queryTimeout is correct

@gitbeaker/rest does not support a requestTimeout option for REST endpoints; it uses queryTimeout (ms) to control API call timeouts. No change is needed.

• Location: packages/backend/src/gitlab.ts lines 32–33
• Keep using:

queryTimeout: env.GITLAB_CLIENT_QUERY_TIMEOUT_SECONDS * 1000,
