Commonly assumed
A common model expectation is that once headers arrive, a `http.Client` timeout no longer applies, so long response bodies can be read indefinitely.
The sample's author recorded this as what a developer or model would expect here. The contract below is what actually ran.
Contract
- A request with a short `Client.Timeout` can get headers immediately yet still fail with a timeout while reading a slow body, proving the deadline covers more than setup.
