Problem
Makers with a high onion-service PoW requirement can take longer than 15 seconds to establish the underlying Tor stream.
authenticate_and_multiplex currently applies one 15-second connection-setup timeout to every address. That timer includes TorTransport::dial and Arti onion-service PoW, so libp2p can cancel a valid onion dial before Arti finishes the PoW and returns the stream.
Expected behavior
Apply an address-aware connection-setup timeout:
- /onion3 outbound dials get up to 5 minutes, covering Tor establishment, PoW, and the libp2p upgrades.
- Other outbound addresses retain the existing 15-second timeout.
- Inbound authentication/multiplexing retains the existing 15-second timeout.
Arti should continue to enforce its own phase-specific hidden-service timeouts; the five-minute value is only the final upper bound for the complete onion connection attempt.
libp2p can race all known maker addresses within one dial attempt, so a working clearnet address may still win quickly while onion PoW continues independently.
Acceptance criteria
- An onion dial remains active beyond 15 seconds and is bounded at 5 minutes.
- Non-onion dials still time out after 15 seconds.
- Arti errors and internal timeouts continue to propagate normally.
- Add a regression test covering timeout selection for onion and non-onion multiaddresses.
