HITL timeouts set a deadline for Step confirmation and output-review responses. When the timeout expires, the workflow resolves the pending requirement based on the on_timeout policy the next time continue_run() is called. Step user-input pauses and other workflow primitives do not support timeout policies.
There is no background timer.
