bug: Frontend has no request timeout or abort controller — long queries hang indefinitely #77

Description

Problem

sendMessage() in App.tsx has no timeout or AbortController. If the backend takes too long (e.g. Gemini is slow), the UI just spins forever with no way to cancel.

Also

  • onKeyPress is deprecated in React — replace with onKeyDown
  • checkApiHealth() is only called once on mount, never retried on reconnect
  • clearChat() only clears frontend state — does not call /api/session/reset, so the backend still remembers the old conversation

Fix

  • Add AbortController with a ~30s timeout to the fetch in sendMessage()
  • Replace onKeyPress with onKeyDown
  • Call /api/session/reset in clearChat()
