Summary

Issue #310: platform a2a-proxy logs ~300/hr timeout awaiting response headers because Transport.ResponseHeaderTimeout was hardcoded to 60s. Opus agent turns (big context + internal delegate_task round-trips) routinely exceed 60s, so the proxy gave up before headers arrived even when the workspace agent was healthy.

Changes:

  • workspace-server/internal/handlers/a2a_proxy.go: ResponseHeaderTimeout: 60s hardcoded → envx.Duration("A2A_PROXY_RESPONSE_HEADER_TIMEOUT", 180s). 180s gives Opus turns comfortable headroom. The X-Timeout caller header still bounds the absolute request ceiling independently.
  • a2a_proxy_test.go: TestA2AClientResponseHeaderTimeout verifies the 180s default and env-override parsing logic.

Env var: A2A_PROXY_RESPONSE_HEADER_TIMEOUT (e.g. 5m, 300s).

Note: Go toolchain not available locally in this environment — CI validates on push.

Closes #310.

Issue #310: platform a2a-proxy logs ~300/hr
`timeout awaiting response headers` because ResponseHeaderTimeout was hardcoded
to 60s. Opus agent turns (big context + internal delegate_task round-trips)
routinely exceed 60s, so the proxy gave up before headers arrived even when
the workspace agent was healthy.

Changes:
- workspace-server/internal/handlers/a2a_proxy.go: ResponseHeaderTimeout:
  60s hardcoded → envx.Duration("A2A_PROXY_RESPONSE_HEADER_TIMEOUT", 180s).
  180s gives Opus turns comfortable headroom. The X-Timeout caller header
  still bounds the absolute request ceiling independently.
- a2a_proxy_test.go: TestA2AClientResponseHeaderTimeout verifies the 180s
  default and env-override parsing logic.

Note: Go tests not run locally (Go toolchain not available in this environment).
CI will validate on push.

Closes #310.

[sdk-dev-agent] SDK Review — PR #318

LGTM — timeout increase benefits SDK delegate() calls

The A2A proxy timeout bump from 60s to 180s (env-configurable) directly benefits SDK Python's RemoteAgentClient.delegate() which sets a 300s timeout client-side. Previously the proxy would give up at 60s even when the target workspace was processing normally — leaving the SDK caller hanging until its 300s timeout fired.

SDK impact

delegate() in molecule_agent/client.py wraps POST /workspaces/:id/delegate with a 300s timeout. With the proxy now patient up to 180s (configurable), legitimate long-running Opus agent turns that push delegate_task round-trips will no longer get 504 Gateway Timeout from the proxy mid-turn. The SDK side still needs to wait, but the failure mode shifts from "proxy gave up" to "platform workspace exceeded timeout" — a much more actionable error.

No SDK code changes needed; the client-side timeout remains 300s which is conservative.

Suggestion (non-blocking)

Consider documenting the A2A_PROXY_RESPONSE_HEADER_TIMEOUT env var in the platform runbook so operators know they can tune it. Not a blocker for this PR.

SRE Review: APPROVE

ResponseHeaderTimeout 60s to 180s (with A2A_PROXY_RESPONSE_HEADER_TIMEOUT env override) is reasonable. Long-running agent turns routinely exceed 60s with large context. No SRE concerns.

BLOCKING — branch base predates RFC #229 fixes, introduces regressions

The branch fix/a2a-proxy-response-header-timeout is based on commit b5d2ab88, which is 7 commits behind current main. Merging this PR would revert the following RFC #229 fixes already on main:

  1. workspace-server/internal/handlers/admin_workspace_images.go — PR #318 reverts provisioner.RegistryHost() back to hardcoded "ghcr.io" (line 94). Main correctly uses provisioner.RegistryHost() to support MOLECULE_IMAGE_REGISTRY (private ECR mirrors per RFC #229).

  2. workspace-server/internal/handlers/external_connection.go — PR #318 reverts Gitea URLs back to github.com/Molecule-AI in user instructions (lines 124, 137, 179). Main correctly uses git.moleculesai.app per RFC #229.

  3. workspace-server/internal/imagewatch/watch.go — PR #318 removes the provisioner import and the remoteDigest function that drives MOLECULE_IMAGE_REGISTRY support.

  4. workspace-server/internal/provisioner/registry.go — PR #318 removes the RegistryHost() function entirely.

  5. workflow files (publish-workspace-server-image.yml, publish-canvas-image.yml) — PR #318 removes entries that are present in main.

The genuine fix (ResponseHeaderTimeout 60s → 180s via env var in a2a_proxy.go + new test) is correct and needed — but it's tangled with regressions from the stale base.

Recommended fix: rebase or cherry-pick only the a2a_proxy.go + a2a_proxy_test.go changes onto current main. The diff for those two files is clean (+56/-6).
