Increase BREW_OUTDATED_TIMEOUT_SECONDS from 15s to 60s

[groksrc]

Description

The automatic update check occasionally fails with a timeout when running brew outdated:

Automatic update check failed. Command '['brew', 'outdated', '--quiet', 'basic-memory']' timed out after 15 seconds

Root Cause

BREW_OUTDATED_TIMEOUT_SECONDS is set to 15 in src/basic_memory/cli/auto_update.py:25. Homebrew can be slow depending on network conditions or if it needs to update its index, causing this timeout to be hit intermittently.

Proposed Fix

Increase BREW_OUTDATED_TIMEOUT_SECONDS from 15 to 60 seconds. This is a non-interactive background check, so a longer timeout won't impact UX.

Location

src/basic_memory/cli/auto_update.py:25

BREW_OUTDATED_TIMEOUT_SECONDS = 15  # should be 60
