The wait time before a parked permission prompt times out is now configurable, not fixed

What

When Claude Code "parks" a permission request (waiting for you to answer whether a tool can run) and no answer comes back in time, it falls back after a wait period. That wait period used to be a fixed number; it's now read per-request from a setting, which in turn comes from the environment variable CLAUDE_CODE_PARKED_PERMISSION_WAIT_MS (still defaulting to 2000 milliseconds).

Why

Making the timeout configurable per situation rather than one fixed value allows more flexibility in how long Claude Code waits for a permission answer before giving up.
