Comment (by khushdoms):

 Tested the patch locally in a WordPress 7.0 development environment.

 **Testing setup:**

 * Theme: Twenty Twenty-Five (v1.4)
 * Added the following filter and test trigger in `functions.php`:

 ```
 add_filter(
     'wp_ai_client_default_request_timeout',
     function () {
         return -1;
     }
 );

 add_action('init', function () {
     if ( function_exists('wp_ai_client_prompt') ) {
         wp_ai_client_prompt("Test prompt");
     }
 });
 ```

 **Before applying the patch:**

 * Encountered a fatal error:
   `InvalidArgumentException: Request option "timeout" must be greater than
 or equal to 0`

 screenshot : https://prnt.sc/yC5V3AwWnwyF

 **After applying the patch:**

 * No fatal error occurs ✅
 * Invalid timeout value is handled gracefully
 * Application continues to run normally

 The patch successfully prevents the fatal error and aligns with expected
 WordPress error-handling practices.

 Patch works as expected 👍
