generate_designs.js: bump ComfyUI poll timeout 5 min → 15 min

29ac6e7159e96d96ee48e340df62f81d46591f29 · 2026-05-25 20:44:16 -0700 · Steve Abrams

DA-4 blocker: drunk-animals prompts grew to ~2 KB with the 2026-05-25
expansion (Met PD reference + texture substrate + deep tone-on-tone +
TONE_ON_TONE_SUFFIX). With concurrent auto-ticks (drunk_animals_tick
every 4 min + generator_tick every 3 min + night-builder) the ComfyUI
queue routinely sits 5–10 deep, so individual generate_designs.js
invocations are hitting the 5-min wall-clock timeout before their
prompt ever runs.

Default bumped to 15 min. Overridable via COMFY_POLL_TIMEOUT_SEC env.
Damask category was still landing rows (#42890 +) but drunk-animals
specifically had zero new rows in 11+ hours; expect that to clear
once the next cron wave fires with the new timeout.

No prompt body changes — Steve directives 2026-05-25 (alcohol + joint
+ swing + texture + Met-PD + deep tone-on-tone + whimsical) all stay
in.
