Description

This pull request addresses a medium-severity network reliability finding in quantus-cli identified during the Quantus workspace security audit (FM-11).

Previously, SubsquidClient::new instantiated reqwest::Client using default settings without an explicit request timeout. Because reqwest has no default timeout, a stalled or non-responsive Subsquid GraphQL indexer endpoint would block calling tasks indefinitely, locking reward-collection and privacy-preserving transfer query CLI operations without recovery paths or errors.

Key Changes & Remediations

Bound Indexer HTTP Transport (FM-11 - src/subsquid/client.rs)

  • Configured Request Timeout: Configured Client::builder().timeout(std::time::Duration::from_secs(30)) during SubsquidClient initialization.
  • Consistency Across Clients: Aligns the HTTP indexer timeout contract with the 30-second timeout already utilized by the WebSocket chain client.
  • Graceful Degradation: Ensures network interruptions and hung indexer connections fail-fast with a typed error rather than blocking the CLI indefinitely.

How to Review

  1. Inspect SubsquidClient::new in src/subsquid/client.rs to verify that Client::builder().timeout(...) is configured with a 30-second duration.
  2. Verify existing unit tests (test_transfer_query_params_builder, pagination tests) continue to pass without timeout disruptions.

### Description
This pull request addresses a medium-severity network reliability finding in `quantus-cli` identified during the Quantus workspace security audit (**FM-11**).

Previously, `SubsquidClient::new` instantiated `reqwest::Client` using default settings without an explicit request timeout. Because reqwest has no default timeout, a stalled or non-responsive Subsquid GraphQL indexer endpoint would block calling tasks indefinitely, locking reward-collection and privacy-preserving transfer query CLI operations without recovery paths or errors.

### Key Changes & Remediations

#### Bound Indexer HTTP Transport (FM-11 - `src/subsquid/client.rs`)
* **Configured Request Timeout:** Configured `Client::builder().timeout(std::time::Duration::from_secs(30))` during `SubsquidClient` initialization.
* **Consistency Across Clients:** Aligns the HTTP indexer timeout contract with the 30-second timeout already utilized by the WebSocket chain client.
* **Graceful Degradation:** Ensures network interruptions and hung indexer connections fail-fast with a typed error rather than blocking the CLI indefinitely.

I think this has the wrong formatting, use our formatter then the code changes will look clean

Thanks @n13. The line endings/formatting noise has been cleaned up using the project's cargo fmt configuration. The diff is now minimal and highlights only the timeout configuration change.

@magqqgq could you apply our formatter please? Then the changes will be more obvious.

basically you have to check the exact thing used in the CI and apply it

We should put this in a contribution guide

CI rustfmt (nightly-2026-08-31) requires newline_style = Unix.

Applied the CI formatter on this branch. For future PRs, match the format job in .github/workflows/ci.yml rather than cargo fmt on the default toolchain.

rustup toolchain install nightly-2026-08-31 --profile minimal --component rustfmt
cargo +nightly-2026-08-31 fmt --all
taplo format --config taplo.toml

That nightly pin matters: .rustfmt.toml uses nightly-only options (hard_tabs, imports_granularity, wrap_comments, newline_style = "Unix"). GitHub's web editor often saves CRLF, which fails the Unix-newline check.

To verify the same way CI does:

cargo +nightly-2026-08-31 fmt --all -- --check
taplo format --check --config taplo.toml

./clippy.sh runs cargo +nightly fmt plus taplo and clippy, but if the format job fails, use the exact nightly date from ci.yml.

APPROVE — No blocking findings at 941df477f40526e8d37e7e401dad643e1533c913. The 30-second timeout in src/subsquid/client.rs:58 covers each Subsquid HTTP request through response-body completion; existing error handling propagates transport failures to callers.

Validation: git diff --check and cargo +nightly-2026-08-31 fmt --all -- --check passed. SKIP_CIRCUIT_BUILD=1 cargo test --locked --no-default-features --lib subsquid::client::tests passed all four focused tests.

CI at review time: formatting, security audit, analysis, and both build/test jobs passed; examples were pending. The separate dependency-cooldown job failed on the age of locked crates, though this PR changes neither dependencies nor Cargo.lock. That check needs resolution before merge.
