It accepts an integer between 1 and 60, defaulting to 5, and sits alongside the existing `max_connections` setting.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis lets operators of a self-hosted gateway tune how long the database pool waits when establishing a connection, instead of relying on a fixed, unconfigurable timeout.\n\n- Area: Gateway\n- Names: `connect_timeout_seconds`\n- Tier: Use it now\n- Useful: 3\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5"}
