Docs are mistaken about default timeout

[dsyme]

We need to work out our current timeout intended default spec

Docs say this:

Jobs have maximum execution times (default: 360 minutes) controlled by the top-level timeout-minutes field:

But I just got this:

Error: The action 'Execute GitHub Copilot CLI' has timed out after 20 minutes

Has Copilot CLI shifted to a shorter timeout, or is there something in our system enforcing a 20min timeout ?

Am investigating

Report:

The 20-minute timeout is intentional — the compiler enforces it. The docs saying 360 are wrong.

The truth (from code):

constants.go sets DefaultAgenticWorkflowTimeout = 20 * time.Minute
The compiler applies this to every agentic step (Copilot, Claude, etc.) when no override is set
The schema and frontmatter.md:514 correctly say "Defaults to 20 minutes"
Incorrect docs (saying 360):

rate-limiting-controls.md:40 — "default: 360 minutes"
glossary.md:446 — "Default is 360 minutes (6 hours)"
frontmatter.md:700 — table says "default: 360"
custom-safe-outputs.md:232 — "default: 360"
github-actions-primer.md:37 — "Default timeout is 360 minutes"
360 minutes is the raw GitHub Actions platform default, but gh-aw overrides it to 20 minutes for cost and safety reasons. The docs inherited the platform default without reflecting the override.

Want me to fix all four incorrect doc pages?

It's a reasonable value to avoid an expensive ruaway agentic run.
