# ECP-0051: Direct Publish Answer Timeout Control
## Why
`ec-node direct-publish` is used for "send a link to someone and have them connect later".
A hard-coded short answer timeout makes this brittle and fails the "works for mom" usability bar.
## Decision
- Add `--answer-timeout-secs` to `ec-node direct-publish`.
- Default: 900 seconds (15 minutes).
- `0` means wait indefinitely.
## Reversibility
High. CLI-only behavior change.
