[model-pricing] pricing bootstrap failed: TimeoutError: The operation was aborted due to timeout

Fix Plan

To resolve the TimeoutError during startup, we will introduce a configuration option to increase the pricing bootstrap timeout.

Step-by-Step Solution

• Update the configuration to include a pricingBootstrapTimeout option:

{
  "agents": {
    "defaults": {
      "model": { 
        "primary": "openrouter/moonshotai/kimi-k2.5",
        "pricingBootstrapTimeout": 300000 // 5 minutes in milliseconds
      }
    }
  }
}

• Alternatively, consider implementing a retry mechanism with exponential backoff to handle temporary failures.

Verification

• Restart the gateway and verify that the TimeoutError is no longer present in the logs.
• Check the pricing cache to ensure it is populated correctly.

Extra Tips

• Monitor the gateway startup process to ensure the increased timeout does not negatively impact performance.
• Consider opening a feature request to add a configuration option to disable the pricing feature altogether.
