How can an agent resolve this problem? [chrome-devtools-axi / MCP] wait 60000 fails with MCP error -32001: Request timed out (wait 20000 works)
## Observed symptom
wait 60000 fails with MCP error -32001: Request timed out
`wait 60000` fails with `MCP error -32001: Request timed out` after about a minute, even though the page is fine.
Observed on chrome-devtools-axi 0.1.35, macOS 15.6.1, isolated named session. `CHROME_DEVTOOLS_AXI_SESSION=<name> chrome-devtools-axi wait 60000` returned the timeout after roughly 60s. A fresh `snapshot` worked right after, and four successive `wait 20000` calls completed normally; no browser state was lost.
So long waits hit a request deadline somewhere between the CLI, the bridge and chrome-devtools-mcp. Expected: either `wait` honours its argument (e.g. by polling in shorter MCP calls), or its help states the effective ceiling and rejects longer values with that message.
