Fixes a SOCKS proxy timeout bypass: Agent.connectTimeout now reaches both the SocksClient.createConnection handshake and the TLS buildConnector phases (previously a stalled/blackholed SOCKS connection could hang past the configured budget), and the fetch-socks family===null path is unified onto createSocksDispatcherWithFamily. Verified against a faux RFC 1928 SOCKS server exercising both pre-grant and post-grant stalls. 6/6 focused tests passing. Thanks!
v3.8.40 cycle integration → main. All test gates green (Unit/Integration/Coverage/Node-compat/Quality-Ratchet). The only red check, 'PR Test Policy', is the test-masking heuristic firing on the cumulative ~57-commit release diff (legitimate assert consolidations already reviewed per-PR — Gemini CLI removal #5246, retired GPT models #5280, provider catalog refreshes); overridden with --admin per the documented release-PR convention. CodeQL/SonarQube advisory scans non-blocking; #5278's code already passed CodeQL on main. Homologated on VPS 192.168.0.15 (v3.8.40 healthy).
