Description
Two production HTTP servers lack read/write timeouts. pkg/cli/bootstrap_profile_github_app.go:211 creates an http.Server with no ReadHeaderTimeout, ReadTimeout, or WriteTimeout, so a slow client can hold a goroutine indefinitely (Slowloris-style). The MCP HTTP server has ReadHeaderTimeout but still lacks WriteTimeout and IdleTimeout. Flagged in the 2026-07-23 Repository Quality report.
Expected Impact
Misbehaving/slow clients can no longer pin server goroutines open indefinitely; bounded connection lifetimes improve reliability of the bootstrap OAuth flow and the MCP server.
Suggested Agent
Copilot SWE Agent.
Estimated Effort
Quick (< 1 hour) — add explicit timeout fields to both http.Server structs.
