# Function resolveEffectiveTimeout

- resolveEffectiveTimeout(): number

  Resolve the effective timeout value in milliseconds from the environment.

  This function only resolves the environment-level precedence: `EP_REQUEST_TIMEOUT_MS` env var → DEFAULT_REQUEST_TIMEOUT_MS

  The full precedence chain (including the `--timeout` CLI argument) is handled by `applyTimeoutArg()` in `src/main.ts`, which sets the env var before modules are loaded.

  Invalid / empty env values are silently ignored (fall through to default).

  #### Returns number

  Effective timeout in milliseconds
