Two independent reasons a working search reported failure to the user. 1. The client gave up before the server did (#1285) `/api/releases` bounds one release search with RELEASE_SEARCH_TIMEOUT (default 300s) and answers a spent budget with a sentence naming the real cause - the machinery added for #1276. The frontend then aborted the direct_download search at a hard-coded 180s, so it always won the race: the user saw "Request timed out. Check your network connection or proxy configuration." instead, and raising RELEASE_SEARCH_TIMEOUT changed nothing they could observe, the 180s being baked into the hashed bundle inside the image. - /api/config reports the effective (clamped) budget, and the client derives its abort from it plus a margin, so the server always answers first. - Direct-mode search shows what the server actually said. Every non-auth failure was relabelled "Unable to reach download source. Network may be restricted or mirrors blocked.", which discarded the explanation and blamed the user's network. ApiResponseError now carries `serverMessage`, set only when the server explained itself, so the status-line placeholder still falls back. Two latency fixes for the cost that made the timeout reachable at all: - Fetch each distinct AA search URL once per search. The language-filter retry re-runs every title variant, and with DIRECT_DOWNLOAD_LANGUAGE_FROM_PATH on both passes build a byte-identical URL - behind DDoS-Guard each repeat is a fresh browser solve. - Drop the solve-only bypass method. `_bypass_method_cdp_gui_click` opens with exactly that call and returns the moment it works, so the entry ahead of it could only repeat the half that had already failed, plus the backoff before the method that does work started. Reported at 0/19 successes and ~5.5s of each ~26s solve against DDoS-Guard. 2. The query carried every contributor, not one author (#1252) `_pick_search_author` returned `book.search_author` verbatim while the authors[] fallback beside it deliberately narrowed to the first name before a comma. Both fields routinely arrive holding every contributor joined with ", ": the frontend builds `book.author` as `authors.join(', ')` for display (bookTransformers.ts) and the release modal sends that display string straight back as the `author` parameter, and `browse_record_to_book_metadata` and the manual-search branch both split the joined text into `authors` while still passing the unsplit string as `search_author`, so the split was never used. A book whose metadata lists translators was therefore searched for as Blindness Jose Saramago, Giovanni Pontiero, <persian translator> which matches nothing on Anna's Archive. The bypass succeeds, the search comes back empty, and the user is told the book has no releases. Narrowed in one place, `search_plan.first_author`, so the two branches cannot drift apart again, and applied to the IRC source, which built its query with the same verbatim preference. Hardcover is unaffected: it already sets `search_author` from `_simplify_author_for_search(authors[0])`, which resolves "Last, First" itself and never yields a multi-author string.
