This PR implements a timeout mechanism for code execution to prevent code from running indefinitely or consuming excessive resources.
As privately discussed with @akseljoonas, certain computations (such as extremely large exponentiations) can lead to unresponsive behavior or exhaust available memory. For example:
To mitigate such risks, this update enforces a configurable timeout limit, ensuring that execution is safely interrupted if it exceeds the allowed duration.
