## Summary
Follow-up to #1444 (the `httpcore` → `TimeoutException` mapping, now
merged). That mapping made the flaky timeout deterministic, but the
underlying cause remained: the streaming HTTP `read` timeout was set to
the command `timeout`, so it raced the server's own `deadline_exceeded`
response. This PR removes the read timeout on streaming calls entirely
and relies on the server-side `connect-timeout-ms` header to enforce the
command timeout — matching the JS SDK, which has no per-chunk read
timeout. The race is now structurally impossible rather than mapped
over.
## Usage
```python
cmd = sandbox.commands.run("sleep 10", timeout=2, background=True)
try:
for _ in cmd:
pass
except TimeoutException:
print("command timed out") # server-side deadline_exceeded, no transport race
```
## Tradeoff
A silently dropped connection (no RST) on a command with `timeout=0`
(disabled) now has no client-side read backstop and relies on keepalive
pings — the same posture as the JS SDK.
