🐛 OCPBUGS-92037: increase catalog HTTP client timeout from 10s to 5m (#2787)

joelanford · web-flow · commit 0227f92aaf4f · 2026-06-26T14:44:24.000Z
The 10-second timeout was too aggressive for large catalog responses. Increase it to 5 minutes to avoid timeouts when fetching catalogs. See https://redhat.atlassian.net/browse/OCPBUGS-92037 for details of the bug.
