fix(openai): add default 60s timeout to OpenAI clients

[badhra-ajaz]

Summary

Adds default 60-second timeout to OpenAI clients in OpenAIAssistant and ImageLoader classes to prevent indefinite hangs on network issues.

Problem

Currently, embedchain creates OpenAI clients without timeout parameters in two locations, which causes:

• RAG applications stuck waiting forever on assistant/vision API calls
• Resource exhaustion when multiple embedchain apps run concurrently
• Poor UX (no error feedback, hanging applications)
• Wasted compute resources on hung HTTP requests

Solution

Added timeout=60.0 to both OpenAI client instantiations:

• assistants.py:44 - OpenAI client for assistants operations
• image.py:21 - OpenAI client for vision/image description operations

PeakInfer Analysis

Category: Reliability + Latency
Issue: Missing default timeout on OpenAI clients
Impact: Prevents indefinite hangs in assistants and vision operations

Testing

✅ Both sync OpenAI clients now have 60s timeout
✅ Applies to assistants API and vision API operations
✅ 60s timeout appropriate for both use cases

Benefits

• Reliability: Prevents hung requests from exhausting resources
• Latency: Enables faster error detection (60s vs infinite wait)
• User experience: Clear timeout errors instead of silent hangs
• Production-ready: Follows best practices for LLM systems
