# httpx clients need explicit timeouts Agents love `httpx.AsyncClient()` with no arguments. Without `timeout=`, a slow upstream holds connections and worker concurrency indefinitely; with `timeout=None` it does so forever by contract. ## Do ```python import httpx _client = httpx.AsyncClient(timeout=httpx.Timeout(5.0, connect=2.0)) ``` ## Do not ```python import httpx _client = httpx.AsyncClient() # 5s default nobody agreed to, often widened later ``` ```python _client = httpx.AsyncClient(timeout=None) # hangs forever on a stalled upstream ``` Set the timeout at construction, where every caller inherits it, not per call where the next agent-added call site silently drops it. ## Enforce CI gates this rule (`enforcement: checker`): ```bash python3 scripts/check.py --repo-root . --pack python --rule python.http.no-httpx-client-without-explicit-timeout ```
