+The `/api/v1/health/detailed` response also includes an explicit `timeouts` object with public-safe dependency timeout values:
+
+- `database_timeout_ms` (number) — configured database query timeout in milliseconds.
+- `cache_timeout_ms` (number) — configured public cache timeout in milliseconds.
+
+These values are intentionally numeric-only and do not include connection strings, hostnames, credentials, or other internal topology details.
