From 7078d9d1e29ddc6e6e90572744b33d34c119477c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Brooklyn Nicholson Date: Thu, 25 Jun 2026 00:32:48 -0500 Subject: [PATCH 1/3] fix(pets): raise generation timeouts for the slow quality-first model path MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The quality-first default (OpenAI image via OpenRouter) is slow, and a full hatch fans out ~8 rows with up to 3 retries each (300s/call) across 2 parallel waves, so the absolute backend worst case is ~30 min. The old ceilings fired mid-run: - per-image HTTP call: 180s -> 300s (a single cold row can exceed 3 min) - drafts RPC: 240s -> 420s (single wave, no retries — 7 min is ample) - hatch RPC: 420s -> 1hr (sits above the ~30 min backend worst case) The hatch ceiling is intentionally well above the realistic max so the frontend never throws "request timed out" before the backend has exhausted its own retries. The background-resumable notification path remains the real UX safety net — the user can close the modal and get pinged on completion. --- apps/desktop/src/store/pet-generate.ts | 14 +++++++++----- plugins/image_gen/openrouter/__init__.py | 5 ++++- 2 files changed, 13 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/apps/desktop/src/store/pet-generate.ts b/apps/desktop/src/store/pet-generate.ts index 2b7962775aa..5713b04a8a7 100644 --- a/apps/desktop/src/store/pet-generate.ts +++ b/apps/desktop/src/store/pet-generate.ts @@ -22,11 +22,15 @@ import { applyAdoptedPet, type GatewayRequest } from '@/store/pet-gallery' */ // Generation is many grounded image calls — far longer than the default 30s RPC -// timeout.

Keep it available for manual validation, but do not run it by default. Set HERMES_RUN_SLOW_PET_TESTS=1 to enable the suite.
