+ * Tests CXF ReceiveTimeout behavior. The timeout is configured to 100ms in cxfConduitTimeOutContext.xml via a wildcard
+ * http-conduit. However, the JAX-WS server published in {@code @BeforeAll} creates a default CXF Bus without that
+ * configuration. Under CI load, the client conduit can sometimes resolve against the wrong Bus and miss the 100ms
+ * timeout entirely. To make the timeout reliable, each timeout-expecting test method uses {@code TimeoutCxfConfigurer}
+ * to explicitly set the ReceiveTimeout on the conduit, independent of Bus-level configuration.
