📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe CLI authentication timeout default increases from 2 minutes to 15 minutes. The Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~2 minutes Merge Risk:🔵 Low · up to The timeout increase is localized, but invalid environment override values could cause authentication to expire almost immediately and emit runtime warnings; the PR is mergeable with owner awareness or a follow-up to validate overrides. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 5✅ Passed checks (5 passed)

- Line 23: Update AUTH_TIMEOUT_MS to use the environment value only when it is
finite and greater than zero; otherwise retain the 15-minute default, preventing
invalid values such as -1 and Infinity from reaching the auth timeout logic.

Bun 1.3.11 setTimeout negative Infinity delay behavior
💡 Result:
In Bun, passing negative Infinity as the delay to setTimeout results in a warning being emitted and the timer being treated as having a negative delay [1][2]. Internally, Bun's timer implementation logic checks for negative numbers and non-finite values (such as NaN and Infinity) during the conversion of the timeout argument [1][2][3][4]. When a negative value (including -Infinity) is provided, the runtime identifies it as a TimeoutNegativeWarning [1][2]. The internal implementation handles these invalid countdowns by emitting a warning, which is part of Bun's effort to provide diagnostic feedback for invalid timer durations [1][2][3]. Historically and in recent versions (including those around 1.3.x), Bun has aligned its setTimeout behavior to reject or warn on invalid inputs, while ensuring that standard positive integers (and 0) are handled predictably [5][6]. For instance, Bun enforces a minimum duration of 1ms for setTimeout to align with Node.js and browser expectations, and specific API entry points—such as node:http server sockets—have been updated to strictly validate that delay arguments (like -1, NaN, or Infinity) behave consistently with Node.js standards (typically throwing or rejecting invalid ranges) [7][5]. In summary, passing -Infinity to setTimeout in Bun will not cause it to execute "instantly" in a way that ignores the runtime's validation logic; instead, it triggers a diagnostic warning for a negative number [1][2].

🌐 Web query:
Bun setTimeout documentation delay Infinity negative values
💡 Result:
In Bun, the setTimeout function handles delay values by enforcing a minimum duration and issuing warnings for invalid inputs [1][2]. Key behaviors for setTimeout(callback, delay) include: Minimum Delay: Bun enforces a minimum delay of 1 millisecond for setTimeout [1][2]. If you provide a delay of 0, it is treated as 1 millisecond to align with Node.js and browser behavior [2]. Negative Values and NaN: When a negative number or NaN is provided as the delay, Bun typically issues a runtime warning to the console [3][1][4]. Internally, the timer logic tracks whether these warnings have already been emitted to avoid flooding the console [3][1][4]. Infinity and Large Values: - Infinite values are not supported as valid countdown durations and will trigger warnings [3]. - For very large values, Bun's internal implementation often clamps or truncates the value, typically using a 32-bit signed integer range, and may emit a TimeoutOverflowWarning if the value exceeds expected limits [3][5][1]. Node.js Compatibility: While core setTimeout aims for web/Node.js compatibility, specific modules like node:http have been updated to strictly validate input and reject Infinity or negative values by throwing errors (e.g., ERR_OUT_OF_RANGE), aligning closer to Node.js's native behavior [5]. Always prefer passing valid, non-negative, finite numbers to avoid unexpected warnings or behavior in different contexts [5][1].

Reject invalid CLERK_AUTH_TIMEOUT_MS values.
Number(process.env.CLERK_AUTH_TIMEOUT_MS) || ... preserves -1 and Infinity. auth-server.ts passes these values directly to setTimeout; Bun normalizes them to a 1 ms timer and emits a warning. Accept the override only when Number.isFinite(value) && value > 0; otherwise use the 15-minute default.
