## Problem
- Assistant responses were capped at 120 seconds and 10 steps, which is
too short for longer reasoning or multi-step tool work.
- When the hosting platform ended a request at that limit, the
connection just dropped. The user got no explanation, and "Thinking…"
and tool rows kept spinning.
- Studio's own tools ignored the request's abort signal, so a stop,
disconnect or deadline couldn't cancel their in-flight requests.
- Aborted responses never closed their Braintrust span. Under TanStack
Start, the remote MCP client was only released on `res.on('close')`,
which the adapter never emits.
## Solution
Uses AI SDK options instead of custom stream handling:
- `maxDuration` goes to 300s and the step limit to 20. `streamText({
timeout: { totalMs } })` stops the response at 270s, leaving time to
finish the stream before the platform cutoff.
- `toUIMessageStream({ messageMetadata })` marks an aborted response
`timedOut: true`. `Chat` ignores `abort` chunks, so the client reads
this flag instead and shows a timeout alert with Retry. The flag is
saved with the message, so the alert survives a reload.
- `toUIMessageStream({ onEnd })` aborts the request whenever the stream
ends, releasing the MCP client on both runtimes. `streamText({ onAbort
})` ends the Braintrust span.
- Studio tools pass the SDK's `abortSignal` to their fetches. MCP tools
already did.
- Reasoning and server-tool rows that never finished show "Response
interrupted" instead of a spinner or "Ran X ✓".
There's no per-tool timeout. Approved SQL and migrations can
legitimately run longer, and aborting the HTTP request doesn't stop the
query in Postgres.
## Review instructions
1. Run the unit tests: `cd apps/studio && pnpm vitest run
lib/api/generate-v4.test.ts lib/ai components/ui/AIAssistantPanel`
2. To see a timeout without waiting 4.5 minutes, temporarily set
`ASSISTANT_TIMEOUT_MS` in `apps/studio/lib/ai/assistant-timeout.ts` to
`15_000` and run `pnpm dev:studio`.
3. Ask the Assistant something that needs several tool calls or long
reasoning, for example "Audit my schema for missing indexes and RLS
gaps, then write the fixes."
4. After 15 seconds, check that:
- the response stops and a "Assistant response timed out" alert appears
with Retry
- any in-progress reasoning or tool row shows "Response interrupted"
instead of spinning
- Retry starts a new response
- reloading the page still shows the alert on that chat
5. Stop a response with the Stop button before the deadline. It should
stop without the timeout alert.
6. With the default 270s, confirm that a normal response completes as
before.

## Summary by CodeRabbit
* **Improvements**
* AI assistant responses can now run for up to five minutes, supporting
longer requests.
* When a response times out, the assistant displays a message suggesting
you retry or ask for a smaller change.
* Incomplete responses now show a “Response interrupted” notice, and
loading indicators stop when generation ends.

How it works
Supabase is a combination of open source tools. We’re building the features of Firebase using enterprise-grade, open source products. If the tools and communities exist, with an MIT, Apache 2, or equivalent open license, we will use and support that tool. If the tool doesn't exist, we build and open source it ourselves. Supabase is not a 1-to-1 mapping of Firebase. Our aim is to give developers a Firebase-like developer experience using open source tools.
Architecture
Supabase is a hosted platform. You can sign up and start using Supabase without installing anything. You can also self-host and develop locally.
- Postgres is an object-relational database system with over 30 years of active development that has earned it a strong reputation for reliability, feature robustness, and performance.
- Realtime is an Elixir server that allows you to listen to PostgreSQL inserts, updates, and deletes using websockets. Realtime polls Postgres' built-in replication functionality for database changes, converts changes to JSON, then broadcasts the JSON over websockets to authorized clients.
- PostgREST is a web server that turns your PostgreSQL database directly into a RESTful API.
- GoTrue is a JWT-based authentication API that simplifies user sign-ups, logins, and session management in your applications.
- Storage a RESTful API for managing files in S3, with Postgres handling permissions.
- pg_graphql a PostgreSQL extension that exposes a GraphQL API.
- postgres-meta is a RESTful API for managing your Postgres, allowing you to fetch tables, add roles, and run queries, etc.
- Envoy is a cloud-native, high-performance edge and service proxy.
Client libraries
Our approach for client libraries is modular. Each sub-library is a standalone implementation for a single external system. This is one of the ways we support existing tools.
