This feature ensures long-running sync operations time out after a specified duration. ### **Why Use Global Sync Timeout?** The sync timeout prevents situations where resources fail to start properly and continue retrying indefinitely. The timeout can be configured within the **ArgoCD Controller** to ensure a defined limit for sync operations. ### **1. Applying Sync Timeout in Akuity’s Control Plane** Since the **Akuity Platform does not use `argocd-cmd-params-cm`**, you must configure the timeout using **Kustomization** and apply it via the **Agent**. #### **1.1 Using Kustomization to Set Sync Timeout** You can apply the following kustomization to an agent-managed cluster: `apiVersion: kustomize.config.k8s.io/v1beta1 kind: Kustomization patches:   - patch: |       apiVersion: apps/v1       kind: Deployment       metadata:         name: argocd-application-controller         namespace: akuity       spec:         template:           spec:             containers:               - name: argocd-application-controller                 env:                   - name: "ARGOCD_APPLICATION_CONTROLLER_SYNC_TIMEOUT"                     value: "300"  # Timeout in seconds (5 minutes)` ### **2. Configuring Sync Timeout Using Terraform** If you manage your infrastructure with Terraform, you can set the **sync timeout** using the **`akp_cluster`** resource. Below is a sample manifest file for reference. #### **2.1 Example: Applying Sync Timeout to a Specific Cluster** **`data "akp_instance" "example" {   name = "test" } resource "akp_cluster" "example" {   instance_id = data.akp_instance.example.id   name        = "test-cluster"   namespace   = "test"   spec = {     cluster_customization_defaults = {       kustomization = <
