refactor: address PR review feedback - eliminate code duplication and add enhancements

- Extract shared timeout logic into timeout-utils.ts module - Add comprehensive documentation for regex capture groups - Make timeout configurable via constructor parameters (default 30s) - Add realistic XML test cases including user's problematic example - Implement performance monitoring with detailed logging - Fix TypeScript error in test file All tests passing (2,338 tests), no linting errors

+      Based on the user's initial prompt or request, extract key information.
+      If the user hasn't provided enough detail, use ask_followup_question to gather
+      the required fields from the appropriate template.
+      
+      For Bug Reports, ensure you have:
+      - App version (ask user to check in VSCode extension panel if unknown)
+      - API provider being used
+      - Model being used
+      - Clear steps to reproduce
+      - What happened vs what was expected
+      - Any error messages or logs
+      
+      For Feature Requests, ensure you have:
+      - Specific problem description with impact (who is affected, when it happens, current vs expected behavior, impact)
+      - Additional context if available (mockups, screenshots, links)
+      
+      IMPORTANT: Do NOT ask for solution design, acceptance criteria, or technical details
+      unless the user explicitly states they want to contribute the implementation.
+      
+      Use multiple ask_followup_question calls if needed to gather all information.
+      Be specific in your questions based on what's missing.
