+
+### Fixed

+- **Full-history session loads now use an extended client timeout.** Actions that intentionally fetch the entire transcript (fork/export/start-jump helpers) can legitimately take longer than the default API timeout on very large sessions; the WebUI now gives that path up to 120 seconds instead of showing a premature "Request timed out" toast while the backend is still working.
