fix(ghidra): explain server restart for timeout recovery (#5356)
Explain process-scoped startup settings in shared CLI/MCP timeout guidance and the bundled skill. Preserve Evidence and cleanup before restarting REA, reconnect MCP, and allow enough client request time. Validated with focused tests, static/docs/package checks, real Ghidra CLI/MCP recovery, and a completed 591-second EXE analysis under CPU and memory limits.

The 330-second default is configurable. Configuration is read when REA starts:
|

changing an environment variable in another shell, or closing and reopening a
|

binary in the same MCP server, does not change that server's startup allowance.
|
||||
For a CLI retry with an example 30-minute allowance:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
REA_GHIDRA_STARTUP_TIMEOUT_MS=1800000 rea analyze /absolute/path/to/app.exe --provider ghidra --json
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
For MCP, export useful Evidence before restarting, close the binary and resolve
|
||||
any cleanup failure, update the environment in the client's REA server launch
|
||||
configuration, then restart REA and reconnect before reopening the target. Allow
|
||||
startup plus the query in the client's own tool-call deadline. Every retry uses
|
||||
a fresh ephemeral import; smaller result requests do not reduce the prerequisite
|
||||
auto-analysis. A larger time allowance does not raise the JVM heap limit or
|
||||
guarantee completion. Keep [heap and host CPU controls](#ghidra-heap-and-cpu-controls)
|
||||
appropriate for the machine.

One session contains exactly one imported Program; use `provider_id: "ghidra"`, `--provider ghidra`, or
|
||||
`REA_ANALYSIS_PROVIDER=ghidra` when both Hopper and Ghidra support the target.

One persistent decompiler is owned by the Program, and a serial queue keeps
