In September 2025 (AutomatingSciencePipeline/Monorepo), delivered a major UX/engineering improvement by refactoring the trial timeout input to hour-based units, aligning user-facing input, internal representation, and backend submission. Updated defaults, input fields, and validation logic; ensured hours are converted to seconds when submitting experiment data to the backend. This change reduces user errors, strengthens frontend-backend data contracts, and lays the groundwork for broader time-based configuration.
