Audits PHP code to detect and correct missing or misconfigured timeout strategies across all I/O boundaries.
The Timeout Strategy Auditor is a specialized reliability tool for PHP developers that scans codebases for 'infinite wait' scenarios. It identifies missing timeout configurations in HTTP clients, database connections, message queues, cache operations, and file locks. By enforcing strict timeout policies, this skill helps prevent common production issues such as thread exhaustion, connection pool saturation, and cascading failures in distributed systems, ensuring your PHP architecture remains resilient under stress.
