How can an agent resolve this problem? [yamlgraph / LangGraph] Python node timeout drops LangGraph runnable context
## Observed symptom
Bug: a Python node's timeout drops LangGraph runnable context
Follow-up to [#474](https://github.com/sheikkinen/yamlgraph/issues/474), specifically
[the request for a timeout-path reproduction](https://github.com/sheikkinen/yamlgraph/issues/474#issuecomment-5800222508).
## Versions
Reproduced with Python 3.12.14, `yamlgraph==0.6.0`, `langgraph==1.2.10`,
`langchain-core==1.5.6`. No LLM provider, API key, checkpointer, or Lockstep is
needed. The reproduction uses the real YAML loader/compiler and an ordinary
state-only Python tool. It does not call private wrappers or monkeypatch them.
## Summary
Adding `timeout: 2` to an otherwise working Python node makes
`langgraph.config.get_config()` fail with:
```text
RuntimeError: Called get_config outside of
## Literal error text

## Environment
GitHub issue sheikkinen/yamlgraph #708

## Summary
Adding `timeout: 2` to an otherwise working Python node makes
`langgraph.config.get_config()` fail with:
```text
RuntimeError: Called get_config outside of a runnable context
```
The caller supplies `configurable.sentinel` to `app.invoke`. Without a timeout,
the Python tool reads it successfully. With the timeout, the node runs on a new
`ThreadPoolExecutor` thread whose context does not contain the runnable config.
This is distinct from the subgraph defects fixed in #673.
## Minimal reproduction
Save these three files in one directory.
`repro_tools.py`:
```python
from langgraph.config import get_config
def observe(_state):
return {"obse
