🤖 Guarantee consumer calculations always complete (#285)
## Problem
Consumer breakdown can get stuck in "Calculating..." state forever when
the Web Worker hangs and never resolves/rejects its promise.
**Root cause:** No timeout on `tokenWorker.calculate()` means if the
worker hangs:
- Promise never settles
- Code never reaches catch/finally blocks
- `pendingCalcs` never cleaned up
- UI stuck showing "Calculating..." indefinitely
This was observed during development when errors occurred.
## Solution
Add a 10-second timeout using `Promise.race`:
```typescript
const timeoutPromise = new Promise<never>((_, reject) =>
setTimeout(() => reject(new Error("Calculation timeout")), 10_000)
);
const fullStats = await Promise.race([
this.tokenWorker.calculate(messages, model),
timeoutPromise,
]);
```
**Why 10 seconds?**
- Generous enough for large message histories
- Responsive - anything longer feels like a bug to users
- Treated as error → caches empty result → prevents retry spam
## Unchanged: Original Cancellation Logic
The existing cancellation handling is **preserved and correct**:
```typescript
catch (error) {
if (error.message === "Cancelled by newer request") {
return; // Don't cache, let lazy trigger retry
}
// Real errors: cache empty to prevent infinite retries
this.cache.set(workspaceId, { ..., isCalculating: false });
}
```
**Why this matters:**
- **Cancellations** (transient): Don't cache → Lazy trigger retries
naturally
- **Real errors** (permanent): Cache empty → Prevent retry spam
- Removing this distinction breaks the system
## Net Changes
- **Added**: 6 lines (timeout constant + Promise.race wrapper)
- **Removed**: 0 lines
- **Net**: +6 lines, 0 complexity increase
## Testing
- ✅ Fresh load with large history (timeout doesn't trigger prematurely)
- ✅ Rapid workspace switching (cancellations still work correctly)
- ✅ Simulated worker hang (timeout fires, UI exits calculating state)
