fix: add timeout for chat requests and improve error handling

Changes:
1. Add 30-second timeout for chat API requests using AbortController
2. User's message now shows immediately before API response (already done in previous PR)
3. Differentiate between timeout errors and other errors in error messages
4. API client now accepts optional signal parameter for abort support
