+# Implementation Plan: Context Timeout Handling (Issue #13)
+
+## Overview
+
+Add explicit timeout configurations to all HTTP operations to prevent requests from hanging indefinitely. This improves reliability and prevents resource exhaustion from stuck connections.
+
+## Current State
+
+**Problem Areas:**
+- ❌ `http.Get()` calls without context (3 occurrences in oauth.go)
+- ❌ `http.NewRequest()` without context (2 occurrences in oauth.go)
+- ❌ No default timeout on HTTP clients
+- ❌ No timeout documentation for users
+
+**What Works:**
+- ✅ Some requests already use `http.NewRequestWithContext()` (4 occurrences)
+- ✅ Context is passed to public methods
+
+## Implementation Plan
+
+### Phase 1: Update HTTP Client Creation
+
+#### 1.1 Create HTTP Client with Timeout
+
+**File:** `oauth.go`, `client.go`
+
+Add a package-level HTTP client with sensible defaults:
+
+```go
+var (
+    // defaultHTTPClient is the HTTP client used for OAuth and API requests.
+    // Configurable via SetHTTPClient() for testing or custom configurations.
+    defaultHTTPClient = &http.Client{
+        Timeout: 30 * time.Second,
+        Transport: &http.Transport{
+            DialContext: (&net.Dialer{
+                Timeout:   10 * time.Second,  // Connection timeout
+                KeepAlive: 30 * time.Second,
+            }).DialContext,
+            TLSHandshakeTimeout:   10 * time.Second,
+            ResponseHeaderTimeout: 10 * time.Second,
+            ExpectContinueTimeout: 1 * time.Second,
+            IdleConnTimeout:       90 * time.Second,
+            MaxIdleConns:          100,
+            MaxIdleConnsPerHost:   10,
+        },
+    }
+)
+
+// SetHTTPClient sets a custom HTTP client for all requests.
+// Useful for testing or custom timeout/transport configurations.
+func SetHTTPClient(client *http.Client) {
+    defaultHTTPClient = client
+}
+
+// GetHTTPClient returns the current HTTP client.
+func GetHTTPClient() *http.Client {
+    return defaultHTTPClient
+}
+```
+
+**Timeout Strategy:**
+- **Total Request Timeout**: 30 seconds (covers entire request lifecycle)
+- **Connection Timeout**: 10 seconds (TCP handshake)
+- **TLS Handshake**: 10 seconds
+- **Response Headers**: 10 seconds (time to receive headers)
+- **Idle Connections**: Reuse connections for 90 seconds
+
+### Phase 2: Update oauth.go HTTP Calls
+
+#### 2.1 Replace http.Get() with Context-Aware Requests
+
+**Location:** oauth.go - 3 occurrences
+
+**Current:**
+```go
+resp, err := http.Get(metadataURL)
+```
+
+**Updated:**
+```go
+req, err := http.NewRequestWithContext(ctx, "GET", metadataURL, nil)
+if err != nil {
+    return nil, fmt.Errorf("failed to create metadata request: %w", err)
+}
+resp, err := defaultHTTPClient.Do(req)
+```
+
+**Locations to update:**
+1. Line ~208: `StartAuthFlow()` - auth server metadata
+2. Line ~292: `CompleteAuthFlow()` - token endpoint metadata
+3. Line ~420: `RefreshToken()` - token endpoint metadata
+
+#### 2.2 Update Existing http.NewRequest() Calls
+
+**Location:** oauth.go - `exchangeCodeForTokens()` at line ~593
+
+**Current:**
+```go
+req, _ := http.NewRequest("POST", tokenEndpoint, strings.NewReader(data.Encode()))
+```
+
+**Updated:**
+```go
+req, err := http.NewRequestWithContext(ctx, "POST", tokenEndpoint, strings.NewReader(data.Encode()))
+if err != nil {
+    return nil, fmt.Errorf("failed to create token request: %w", err)
+}
+```
+
+#### 2.3 Update HTTP Client Usage
+
+**Location:** All `client.Do(req)` calls
+
+**Current:**
+```go
+client := &http.Client{}
+resp, err := client.Do(req)
+```
+
+**Updated:**
+```go
+resp, err := defaultHTTPClient.Do(req)
+```
+
+### Phase 3: Add Timeout Configuration Options
+
+#### 3.1 Add Client-Level Timeout Configuration
+
+**File:** `types.go`, `client.go`
+
+Add optional timeout configuration to ClientOptions:
+
+```go
+// ClientOptions contains optional configuration for the OAuth client.
+type ClientOptions struct {
+    BaseURL      string
+    ClientName   string
+    Scopes       []string
+    SessionStore SessionStore
+    HTTPClient   *http.Client  // NEW: Optional custom HTTP client
+}
+```
+
+Update `NewClientWithOptions()`:
+
+```go
+func NewClientWithOptions(opts ClientOptions) *Client {
+    // ... existing code ...
+
+    // Use custom HTTP client if provided
+    if opts.HTTPClient != nil {
+        SetHTTPClient(opts.HTTPClient)
+    }
+
+    return &Client{
+        ClientID:     clientID,
+        ClientName:   clientName,
+        RedirectURI:  redirectURI,
+        Scopes:       scopes,
+        SessionStore: opts.SessionStore,
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Phase 4: Context Propagation
+
+#### 4.1 Ensure Context Propagation Throughout
+
+**Check all public methods receive context:**
+
+Currently context-aware:
+- ✅ `StartAuthFlow(ctx, handle)`
+- ✅ `CompleteAuthFlow(ctx, code, state, issuer)`
+- ✅ `RefreshToken(ctx, session)`
+- ✅ `CreatePost(ctx, session, text)`
+- ✅ `CreateRecord(ctx, session, collection, record)`
+- ✅ `DeleteRecord(ctx, session, collection, rkey)`
+
+All public API methods already accept context - no changes needed.
+
+### Phase 5: Error Handling
+
+#### 5.1 Add Timeout Error Detection
+
+**File:** `errors.go` (create if doesn't exist)
+
+```go
+import (
+    "errors"
+    "net"
+    "os"
+)
+
+// IsTimeoutError checks if an error is a timeout error.
+func IsTimeoutError(err error) bool {
+    if err == nil {
+        return false
+    }
+
+    // Check for context deadline exceeded
+    if errors.Is(err, context.DeadlineExceeded) {
+        return true
+    }
+
+    // Check for net.Error timeout
+    var netErr net.Error
+    if errors.As(err, &netErr) && netErr.Timeout() {
+        return true
+    }
+
+    // Check for os.ErrDeadlineExceeded
+    if errors.Is(err, os.ErrDeadlineExceeded) {
+        return true
+    }
+
+    return false
+}
+```
+
+#### 5.2 Add Timeout Error Logging
+
+Update error logging to identify timeouts:
+
+```go
+if err != nil {
+    if IsTimeoutError(err) {
+        logger.Error("request timeout",
+            "url", metadataURL,
+            "error", err)
+    } else {
+        logger.Error("request failed",
+            "url", metadataURL,
+            "error", err)
+    }
+    return nil, fmt.Errorf("failed to retrieve metadata: %w", err)
+}
+```
+
+### Phase 6: Testing
+
+#### 6.1 Add Timeout Tests
+
+**File:** `timeout_test.go` (new)
+
+```go
+package bskyoauth
+
+import (
+    "context"
+    "net/http"
+    "net/http/httptest"
+    "testing"
+    "time"
+)
+
+func TestHTTPTimeout(t *testing.T) {
+    // Create server that never responds
+    server := httptest.NewServer(http.HandlerFunc(func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
+        time.Sleep(60 * time.Second) // Sleep longer than timeout
+    }))
+    defer server.Close()
+
+    // Set custom client with 1 second timeout for testing
+    oldClient := GetHTTPClient()
+    defer SetHTTPClient(oldClient)
+
+    testClient := &http.Client{Timeout: 1 * time.Second}
+    SetHTTPClient(testClient)
+
+    // Test that request times out
+    client := NewClient(server.URL)
+    _, err := client.StartAuthFlow(context.Background(), "test.bsky.social")
+
+    if err == nil {
+        t.Error("expected timeout error, got nil")
+    }
+
+    if !IsTimeoutError(err) {
+        t.Errorf("expected timeout error, got: %v", err)
+    }
+}
+
+func TestContextCancellation(t *testing.T) {
+    server := httptest.NewServer(http.HandlerFunc(func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
+        time.Sleep(10 * time.Second)
+    }))
+    defer server.Close()
+
+    // Create context with short timeout
+    ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(context.Background(), 100*time.Millisecond)
+    defer cancel()
+
+    client := NewClient(server.URL)
+    _, err := client.StartAuthFlow(ctx, "test.bsky.social")
+
+    if err == nil {
+        t.Error("expected error from cancelled context")
+    }
+
+    if !errors.Is(err, context.DeadlineExceeded) {
+        t.Errorf("expected context.DeadlineExceeded, got: %v", err)
+    }
+}
+
+func TestSetHTTPClient(t *testing.T) {
+    customClient := &http.Client{Timeout: 5 * time.Second}
+    SetHTTPClient(customClient)
+
+    if GetHTTPClient() != customClient {
+        t.Error("SetHTTPClient did not update the client")
+    }
+
+    // Restore default
+    SetHTTPClient(&http.Client{Timeout: 30 * time.Second})
+}
+```
+
+#### 6.2 Test Timeout in Integration
+
+Add timeout scenarios to existing tests:
+- Slow metadata endpoint
+- Slow token endpoint
+- Network connection timeout
+- Cancelled context propagation
+
+### Phase 7: Documentation
+
+#### 7.1 Update README.md
+
+Add timeout configuration section:
+
+```markdown
+## Timeout Configuration
+
+The library uses sensible default timeouts for all HTTP operations:
+- **Request Timeout**: 30 seconds (total request time)
+- **Connection Timeout**: 10 seconds (TCP handshake)
+- **TLS Handshake**: 10 seconds
+- **Response Headers**: 10 seconds
+
+### Custom Timeouts
+
+Configure custom timeouts for specific requirements:
+
+```go
+// Custom HTTP client with shorter timeout
+customClient := &http.Client{
+    Timeout: 10 * time.Second,
+}
+
+client := bskyoauth.NewClientWithOptions(bskyoauth.ClientOptions{
+    BaseURL:    "https://myapp.com",
+    HTTPClient: customClient,
+})
+```
+
+### Context Timeouts
+
+Use context timeouts for per-request control:
+
+```go
+// 5 second timeout for this specific request
+ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(context.Background(), 5*time.Second)
+defer cancel()
+
+flowState, err := client.StartAuthFlow(ctx, handle)
+if err != nil {
+    if errors.Is(err, context.DeadlineExceeded) {
+        log.Println("Request timed out")
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Testing with Timeouts
+
+Override the HTTP client for testing:
+
+```go
+// Fast timeout for tests
+testClient := &http.Client{Timeout: 1 * time.Second}
+bskyoauth.SetHTTPClient(testClient)
+defer bskyoauth.SetHTTPClient(bskyoauth.GetHTTPClient())
+```
+```
+
+#### 7.2 Update CHANGELOG.md
+
+```markdown
+### Added
+- **Context Timeout Handling**: Added explicit timeout configurations (Issue #13)
+  - Default 30 second timeout for all HTTP requests
+  - Connection timeout: 10 seconds
+  - TLS handshake timeout: 10 seconds
+  - Response header timeout: 10 seconds
+  - Configurable via `ClientOptions.HTTPClient`
+  - `SetHTTPClient()` and `GetHTTPClient()` for global configuration
+  - All `http.Get()` calls replaced with context-aware requests
+  - `IsTimeoutError()` helper for timeout detection
+  - Comprehensive timeout logging
+  - Test coverage for timeout scenarios
+
+### Changed
+- HTTP requests now use `defaultHTTPClient` with timeout configuration
+- All `http.Get()` replaced with `http.NewRequestWithContext()`
+- Better error messages for timeout scenarios
+```
+
+## Implementation Strategy
+
+### Recommended Approach
+
+1. **Phase 1** - Create HTTP client with timeouts (core infrastructure)
+2. **Phase 2** - Update all HTTP calls to use context and default client
+3. **Phase 3** - Add configuration options
+4. **Phase 4** - Verify context propagation (already done)
+5. **Phase 5** - Add timeout error handling
+6. **Phase 6** - Write tests
+7. **Phase 7** - Update documentation
+
+### Breaking Changes
+
+**None** - All changes are backwards compatible:
+- Default timeouts added (previously none = infinite)
+- New optional configuration (HTTPClient in ClientOptions)
+- New utility functions (SetHTTPClient, GetHTTPClient, IsTimeoutError)
+- Existing API remains unchanged
+
+### Key Decisions
+
+1. **Default Timeout: 30 seconds**
+   - Reasonable for OAuth flows
+   - Covers slow networks
+   - Prevents indefinite hangs
+   - Can be customized per deployment
+
+2. **Connection Pooling**
+   - Reuse connections for performance
+   - Max 10 connections per host
+   - 90 second idle timeout
+   - Standard Go best practices
+
+3. **Error Handling**
+   - Distinguish timeouts from other errors
+   - Provide `IsTimeoutError()` helper
+   - Log timeouts distinctly
+   - Preserve error chains
+
+## Timeout Values Rationale
+
+| Timeout | Value | Reasoning |
+|---------|-------|-----------|
+| Total Request | 30s | OAuth metadata and token requests should complete quickly. 30s allows for slow networks while preventing indefinite hangs. |
+| Connection | 10s | TCP handshake should be fast. 10s handles slow DNS and connection establishment. |
+| TLS Handshake | 10s | TLS negotiation is typically <1s. 10s provides generous buffer. |
+| Response Headers | 10s | Server should send headers quickly. 10s catches hung servers. |
+| Idle Connection | 90s | Reuse connections for multiple requests. Standard Go practice. |
+
+## Testing Strategy
+
+1. **Unit Tests**
+   - Test SetHTTPClient/GetHTTPClient
+   - Test IsTimeoutError with various error types
+   - Mock slow servers
+
+2. **Integration Tests**
+   - Test actual timeout behavior
+   - Test context cancellation
+   - Test timeout in all HTTP operations
+
+3. **Manual Testing**
+   - Test with slow networks
+   - Test with unresponsive servers
+   - Verify logging output
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- ✅ All HTTP requests have explicit timeouts
+- ✅ Timeouts are configurable
+- ✅ Timeout errors are distinguishable
+- ✅ Context cancellation works correctly
+- ✅ Comprehensive test coverage
+- ✅ Documentation with examples
+- ✅ No breaking changes
+
+## Timeline Estimate

 - **Automatic Expiration**: The library tracks token expiration times when available from the server.
 - **No Expiration Data**: If the server doesn't provide expiration times, the helper methods assume tokens are valid.
 
+## Timeout Configuration
+
+The library uses sensible default timeouts for all HTTP operations to prevent requests from hanging indefinitely.
+
+### Default Timeouts
+
+- **Request Timeout**: 30 seconds (total request time)
+- **Connection Timeout**: 10 seconds (TCP handshake)
+- **TLS Handshake**: 10 seconds
+- **Response Headers**: 10 seconds
+- **Idle Connections**: Reused for 90 seconds
+
+### Custom Timeouts
+
+Configure custom timeouts for specific requirements:
+
+```go
+// Custom HTTP client with shorter timeout
+customClient := &http.Client{
+    Timeout: 10 * time.Second,
+}
+
+client := bskyoauth.NewClientWithOptions(bskyoauth.ClientOptions{
+    BaseURL:    "https://myapp.com",
+    HTTPClient: customClient,
+})
+```
+
+### Context Timeouts
+
+Use context timeouts for per-request control:
+
+```go
+// 5 second timeout for this specific request
+ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(context.Background(), 5*time.Second)
+defer cancel()
+
+flowState, err := client.StartAuthFlow(ctx, handle)
+if err != nil {
+    if errors.Is(err, context.DeadlineExceeded) {
+        log.Println("Request timed out")
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Testing with Timeouts
+
+Override the HTTP client for testing:
+
+```go
+// Fast timeout for tests
+testClient := &http.Client{Timeout: 1 * time.Second}
+bskyoauth.SetHTTPClient(testClient)
+defer bskyoauth.SetHTTPClient(bskyoauth.GetHTTPClient())
+```
+
+### Timeout Error Detection
+
+The library provides a helper to detect timeout errors:
+
+```go
+_, err := client.StartAuthFlow(ctx, handle)
+if err != nil {
+    if bskyoauth.IsTimeoutError(err) {
+        log.Println("Request timed out - check network connection")
+    } else {
+        log.Printf("Other error: %v", err)
+    }
+}
+```
+

 ## Low Priority / Best Practices
 
-### 13. Add Context Timeout Handling
-**Files:** Multiple API calls
-
-**Issue:** HTTP requests lack explicit timeout configurations.
-
-**Recommendation:**
-- Add context timeouts to all HTTP operations
-- Configure reasonable timeout values (e.g., 30s)
-- Handle timeout errors gracefully
-
----
-
 ### 14. Dependency Security Scanning
 **File:** [go.mod](go.mod)
 
···
 ```
 
 **Impact:** Users no longer need to re-authenticate when access tokens expire. Improves user experience and enables shorter-lived access tokens for better security.
+
+---
+
+### 13. Add Context Timeout Handling ✅ **COMPLETED**
+**Files:** oauth.go, client.go, errors.go, timeout_test.go, errors_test.go
+
+**Status:** FIXED - See [CHANGELOG.md](CHANGELOG.md) for details
+
+**Issue:** HTTP requests lacked explicit timeout configurations, potentially causing indefinite hangs.
+
+**Implementation:**
+- ✅ Added `defaultHTTPClient` with comprehensive timeout configuration:
+  - Total request timeout: 30 seconds
+  - Connection timeout: 10 seconds (TCP handshake)
+  - TLS handshake timeout: 10 seconds
+  - Response header timeout: 10 seconds
+  - Idle connection reuse: 90 seconds
+  - Connection pooling: Max 100 idle connections, 10 per host
+- ✅ Replaced all `http.Get()` calls with context-aware `http.NewRequestWithContext()`:
+  - 3 occurrences in `StartAuthFlow()`, `CompleteAuthFlow()`, and `RefreshToken()`
+  - All requests now respect context cancellation and timeouts
+- ✅ Updated all `http.NewRequest()` calls to use context:
+  - 2 main requests and 2 retry requests in token exchange functions
+  - Proper error handling for request creation failures
+- ✅ Added `SetHTTPClient()` and `GetHTTPClient()` for global HTTP client configuration
+- ✅ Added `HTTPClient` field to `ClientOptions` for per-client timeout customization
+- ✅ Created `errors.go` with `IsTimeoutError()` helper function:
+  - Detects `context.DeadlineExceeded`
+  - Detects `net.Error` with `Timeout() == true`
+  - Detects `os.ErrDeadlineExceeded`
+  - Supports wrapped errors
+- ✅ Added timeout-specific error logging throughout OAuth flow
+- ✅ 10 comprehensive test cases:
+  - `TestHTTPClientTimeout` - Verifies HTTP timeout behavior
+  - `TestContextCancellation` - Tests context cancellation handling
+  - `TestSetHTTPClient` / `TestGetHTTPClient` - Tests client configuration
+  - `TestClientOptionsWithHTTPClient` - Tests per-client configuration
+  - `TestIsTimeoutError_*` - 5 tests for timeout error detection
+  - `TestDefaultHTTPClientSettings` - Validates default timeout values
+- ✅ Full documentation in README with examples for:
+  - Custom HTTP client timeouts
+  - Context-based per-request timeouts
+  - Testing with custom timeouts
+  - Timeout error detection
+- ✅ Zero breaking changes - all additions backwards compatible with sensible defaults
+
+**Key Features:**
+- **Automatic Timeouts**: All requests have 30s default timeout
+- **Configurable**: Set custom HTTP client globally or per-client
+- **Context-Aware**: Respect context cancellation and deadlines
+- **Error Detection**: Easy identification of timeout errors
+- **Connection Pooling**: Efficient connection reuse
+
+**Example Usage:**
+```go
+// Custom timeout for specific client
+customClient := &http.Client{Timeout: 10 * time.Second}
+client := bskyoauth.NewClientWithOptions(bskyoauth.ClientOptions{
+    BaseURL:    "https://myapp.com",
+    HTTPClient: customClient,
+})
+
+// Context timeout for specific request
+ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(context.Background(), 5*time.Second)
+defer cancel()
+
+flowState, err := client.StartAuthFlow(ctx, handle)
+if err != nil {
+    if bskyoauth.IsTimeoutError(err) {
+        log.Println("Request timed out")
+    }
+}
+```
+
+**Impact:** Prevents indefinite hangs from unresponsive servers or network issues. Improves reliability and enables better error handling for production deployments.
