* feat: add configurable request timeout support (#49)

* feat: add configurable request timeout support

- Add timeout parameter to DarktraceClient (default: None for backwards compatibility)
- Add per-request timeout override to all endpoint methods
- Support tuple format: timeout=(connect_timeout, read_timeout)
- Add TimeoutType export for type hints
- Add comprehensive test suite (11 tests)
- Update README and docs with timeout documentation

This enables users to:
- Set client-wide timeout: DarktraceClient(timeout=30)
- Override per-request: client.advanced_search.search(query, timeout=600)
- Use granular timeouts: timeout=(5, 30) for connect/read

* fix: use sentinel pattern for timeout to allow None override

- Add _UNSET sentinel to distinguish 'not provided' from 'None'
- timeout=None now disables timeout (no timeout)
- timeout not provided uses client default
- Remove unused Union/Tuple imports from client.py
- Update tests and documentation

Addresses Copilot PR review comments #1 and #2

* feat: add request timing to debug output (closes #50)

Add timing information to debug output for all API requests:
- New _format_timing() function formats elapsed time as [123ms] or [1.50s]
- New _make_request() method in BaseEndpoint logs timing when debug=True
- Zero overhead when debug=False (timing only calculated when needed)
- All 27 endpoint modules updated to use _make_request()

Timing format: DEBUG: GET https://instance.dt/endpoint [123ms]

* docs: remove timeout documentation from README, delete test_timeout.py

* docs: add BREAKING CHANGE warning for verify_ssl default switch

⚠️ BREAKING CHANGE: verify_ssl default changed from False to True in v0.8.56

Users with self-signed certificates must either:
1. Add certificate to system trust store, OR
2. Set verify_ssl=False explicitly

- Update README.md with breaking change notice
- Update docs/README.md with breaking change warning
- Remove timeout documentation (not relevant for most users)

* docs: add BREAKING CHANGE warning to all 28 module docs

⚠️ BREAKING CHANGE: verify_ssl default changed from False to True in v0.8.56

Updated all module documentation files in docs/modules/ with the breaking change warning for SSL verification default switch.

* feat: add reliability improvements and error handling enhancements (#51)

* feat: add reliability improvements and error handling enhancements

- Add connection pooling via requests.Session() for better performance

- Add URL scheme validation to block dangerous schemes (file://, ftp://, data://) while allowing private IPs for enterprise deployments
- Add _safe_json() helper method for JSON response parsing with error handling
- Fix error handling in ModelBreaches to re-raise exceptions instead of returning error dicts
- Fix IntelFeed parameter name (fulldetails not full_details) in examples and tests
- Update SSL warning suppression to follow SDK's verify_ssl default
- Clean up unused imports and translate comments to English

* fix: address copilot review comments

- Remove unreachable code after raise statements in dt_breaches.py
- Fix duplicate imports and ordering in client.py
- Remove duplicate SSL warning suppression in conftest.py

* release: v0.9.0

## Added
- Connection pooling via requests.Session() for 4x faster requests
- Context manager support (with DarktraceClient(...) as client)
- Automatic retry logic (3 retries, 10s wait for transient failures)
- SSRF protection (blocks dangerous URL schemes, allows private IPs)
- Configurable request timeout parameter
- CHANGELOG.md
- tests/test_compilation.py - Full SDK compilation test
- tests/test_sdk_readonly.py - Comprehensive read-only test (moved from root)

## Changed
- SSL verification now enabled by default (verify_ssl=True)
- ModelBreaches methods re-raise exceptions instead of returning error dicts
- Fixed IntelFeed fulldetails parameter name in examples
- Updated docs/README.md with v0.9.0 features

## Removed
- tests/test_devicesearch.py (mocked test replaced by compilation + readonly tests)

## Test Suite
- tests/test_compilation.py - 9 tests, no network required
- tests/test_sdk_readonly.py - 62 tests against real Darktrace instance

* fix: address Copilot review comments

1. dt_intelfeed.py: Add timeout parameter to convenience methods
   - get_sources(), get_by_source(), get_with_details() now accept timeout

2. dt_antigena.py: Fix timeout default consistency
   - activate_action() now uses _UNSET instead of None

3. dt_antigena.py: Add deprecation warning to approve_action()
   - Now emits DeprecationWarning pointing to activate_action()

4. dt_utils.py: Remove unused _safe_json() method

5. docs/README.md: Fix version number and remove duplicate warning
   - v0.8.56 -> v0.9.0
   - Removed duplicate breaking change warning

6. docs/modules/*.md: Fix version number
   - All module docs now correctly say v0.9.0

* fix: handle 400 error in test_summarystatistics_basic

The to+hours parameter combination with eventtype may not be supported
on all Darktrace versions. Wrap in try/except to handle gracefully.

* fix: improve connection validation in test fixture

- Try multiple endpoints (/status, /devices, /network) for connection validation
- Some Darktrace versions may not support /status endpoint
- Handle eventtype parameter gracefully (not supported on all versions)
- Add better error reporting with response body

* feat: add exponential backoff for retry logic (3s, 6s, 12s)

- Changed from fixed 10s wait to exponential backoff
- Initial wait: 3s, then 6s, 12s for subsequent retries
- Updated debug messages to show wait time
- Updated test to check _INITIAL_RETRY_WAIT_SECONDS == 3

* fix: add continue statement to retry loop

The retry loop was sleeping but immediately returning without retrying.
Adding continue ensures the loop iterates and makes a new request.

* test: add comprehensive mock test suite for all 28 endpoints

- SSRF protection tests (9 tests)
- Context manager tests (3 tests)
- Retry logic tests (5 tests)
- Timeout handling tests (5 tests)
- All 28 endpoint signature tests (31 tests)
- Endpoint mock call tests (31 tests)
- Retry configuration tests (3 tests)
- SSL verification tests (2 tests)
- Deprecation tests (1 test)

Total: 90 tests, all passed

* fix: update import name in test_compilation

Changed _RETRY_WAIT_SECONDS to _INITIAL_RETRY_WAIT_SECONDS to match
the constant rename in dt_utils.py

* Fix: address GitHub Copilot PR #55 review comments

- Fix timeout parameter default from None to _UNSET in 6 endpoint files
  (tags, status, network, endpointdetails, subnets, summarystatistics)
  This ensures DarktraceClient(timeout=...) is properly inherited

- Update documentation to match actual retry implementation
  Change from "10s wait" to "exponential backoff (3s, 6s, 12s)"
  across CHANGELOG.md, README.md, docs/README.md

- Remove incorrect CHANGELOG entry
  Delete false _safe_json() helper claim (method doesn't exist)

- Fix endpoint module count
  Change from 28 to 27 in CHANGELOG.md and test_mock.py

- Fix breaking change version in docs
  Change v0.8.56 to v0.9.0 in docs/README.md

- Remove duplicate SSL Verification section from docs/README.md

- Add response.close() before retry to prevent connection pool exhaustion

- Previous test fixes (verify_ssl, connection check, non-existent did, docstring)

+## 🔒 SSL Certificate Verification
+
+**SSL verification is enabled by default (`verify_ssl=True`)** for secure connections to your Darktrace instance.
+
+For development or testing environments with self-signed certificates, you can disable verification:
+
+```python
+client = DarktraceClient(
+    host="https://your-darktrace-instance",
+    public_token="YOUR_PUBLIC_TOKEN",
+    private_token="YOUR_PRIVATE_TOKEN",
+    verify_ssl=False  # Only for development/testing
+)
+```
+
+> ⚠️ **Warning**: Disabling SSL verification exposes your connection to man-in-the-middle attacks. Never disable in production environments.
+
+### Using Self-Signed Certificates with verify_ssl=True
+
+For production environments with self-signed certificates, add the certificate to your system trust store instead of disabling verification:
+
+```bash
+# 1. Get the certificate from your Darktrace instance
+openssl s_client -showcerts -connect your-darktrace-instance:443 </dev/null 2>/dev/null | openssl x509 -outform PEM > ~/darktrace-cert.pem
+
+# 2. Copy to system CA store (Linux/Ubuntu/Debian)
+sudo cp ~/darktrace-cert.pem /usr/local/share/ca-certificates/darktrace-cert.crt
+sudo update-ca-certificates
+
+# 3. Now verify_ssl=True will work
+```
+
+**Alternative (no sudo required):**
+```bash
+# Create a custom CA bundle and set environment variable
+cat /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt ~/darktrace-cert.pem > ~/.custom-ca-bundle.pem
+export REQUESTS_CA_BUNDLE=~/.custom-ca-bundle.pem
