[Pulse demo] psf/requests PR #6709: Add default timeout

    This adds a default connect and read timeout value for all usage of Requests. This is to solve a long-standing issue where some systems do not have a sufficiently low default value.
  

Personally, I'd want these values to be much lower, but a 10 second connection timeout and a 30 second read timeout seem like they should be enough to avoid problems for the edge cases of users while also not being so large that they're basically ineffective.

Closes psf#3070

This PR only adds a demo-metadata JSON file and an HTML comment line to HISTORY.md; it contains no source change despite a description claiming to add default connect/read timeouts. The described behavior change to src/requests/sessions.py is absent from the diff, so there is nothing functional to approve or block.

Confidence Score: 5/5

The changed_files and comment_targets are unambiguous: only a demo JSON fixture and an HISTORY.md comment change, and Atlas context confirms no source file (sessions.py, api.py) is touched. The only uncertainty is intent behind the mismatched description.

❌ Failed checks

Check	Status	Explanation	Resolution
Title check	❌ Failed	The title 'Add default timeout' describes a behavioral feature that this PR's diff does not implement (no change to src/requests/sessions.py).	Rename the PR to reflect the actual change (e.g. 'Add demo-seed metadata for psf/requests psf#6709'), or add the timeout implementation the title promises.
Description check	❌ Failed	The description claims it 'adds a default connect and read timeout value for all usage of Requests' and 'Closes psf#3070', but no such code exists in the diff.	Update the description to match the two-file demo-metadata change, or include the timeout code so the description is accurate.
Linked issues check	⚠️ Warning	The embedded body references 'Closes psf#3070' (an upstream psf/requests issue), which does not correspond to a resolved issue in this repo's diff.	Link a real issue in dominic097/requests or remove the upstream 'Closes psf#3070' reference to avoid auto-closing an unrelated/nonexistent issue.
Out of scope changes check	⚠️ Warning	The only changes are a demo fixture and an HISTORY.md comment, which are unrelated to the titled timeout feature and read as scaffolding rather than the advertised work.	Keep demo-seed artifacts in a clearly scoped PR and avoid mixing them with changelog files, or gate the HISTORY.md comment so it is not release-visible.

📝 Walkthrough

Engineering Review

What changed: Two files change: (1) a new demo fixture .pulse-demo/sampled-prs/2026-06-24/upstream-pr-6709.json (31 added lines) recording metadata scraped from psf/requests PR psf#6709, and (2) HISTORY.md gains a trailing blank line plus an HTML comment '' at lines 2103-2104. No Python source is modified; src/requests/sessions.py is NOT in the changed_files set even though the embedded PR body says it adds a 10s connect / 30s read default timeout there.

Correctness: The two changes are inert and correct in isolation: the JSON fixture is well-formed (balanced braces, valid keys author/body/files/etc.) and the HISTORY.md addition is a comment that does not affect rendering or the package. There is no runtime code path touched — Atlas context shows sessions.py, api.py, and the Timeout/ConnectTimeout/ReadTimeout classes are unchanged, so no correctness risk to the library itself.

Completeness: As a documentation/demo-seed change it is complete. As the change its own description advertises ('adds a default connect and read timeout for all usage of Requests ... Closes psf#3070'), it is entirely incomplete: the diff makes no edit to src/requests/sessions.py (the file the embedded metadata itself lists as MODIFIED +5/-1), adds no DEFAULT_TIMEOUT constant, and wires no default into Session.request/send. The title 'Add default timeout' is not backed by any code in this PR.

Risks: Low blast radius: no importable code changes, so no regression, security, performance, or data-loss risk to the requests package. The main risk is process/traceability — the PR title and embedded body assert a behavioral change (default timeouts) that does not exist in the diff, which can mislead reviewers and changelog readers into believing timeout defaults shipped. HISTORY.md now carries a demo seed comment that could leak into a real changelog if not stripped before release.

Missing tests: If the intent were the advertised default-timeout behavior, tests would be required and are absent: e.g. a test asserting Session().request() applies the default connect/read timeout when none is passed, that an explicit timeout still overrides the default, and that timeout=None disables it. Atlas shows existing timeout tests (test_connect_timeout, test_read_timeout, test_total_timeout_connect in tests/test_requests.py) that would need extension. For the actual diff (a JSON fixture and a comment) no unit tests are warranted.

Follow-up work: 1) Decide whether this repo actually intends to port psf/requests psf#6709; if so, open a separate task to implement the default connect/read timeout in src/requests/sessions.py and add coverage. 2) Ensure the demo-seed HTML comment in HISTORY.md is not published in a real release changelog. 3) Correct the PR title/description so it reflects that this is a demo-metadata seed, not a timeout feature.

Decision — COMMENT: Verdict is comment, not approve or request_changes: there is no functional/source change to block (no correctness, security, or regression concern in the actual diff), so request_changes is not warranted; but approve is inappropriate because the PR title and body advertise a default-timeout feature that the diff does not deliver, which is a traceability/scope mismatch worth flagging advisorily rather than a code defect.

Important Files Changed

Filename	Overview
.pulse-demo/sampled-prs/2026-06-24/upstream-pr-6709.json	New 31-line fixture capturing psf/requests PR psf#6709 metadata (author, body, files list, title 'Add default timeout'). Inert demo data; well-formed JSON. Its own 'files' array lists src/requests/sessions.py as MODIFIED, which is not reflected in this PR's actual diff.
HISTORY.md	Adds a blank line and an HTML comment demo-seed marker at lines 2103-2104. No changelog-visible content; risk is only that the demo comment could be carried into a published changelog.
