Adds the valid range (1-3600 seconds) to the idle_timeout parameter documentation in Flash. This helps users configure the parameter correctly upfront, avoiding validation errors at construction time.

Agent Response

I've reviewed PR #287 and created a documentation update.

Summary

The PR adds field validation for idleTimeout to ensure values are between 1 and 3600 seconds. This validation was already enforced by the backend but now happens at construction time, giving users earlier feedback.

Documentation change

I added the valid range to the idle_timeout parameter documentation in flash/configuration/parameters.mdx:

**Type**: `int`
**Default**: `60`
**Valid range**: 1-3600 seconds

This helps users configure the parameter correctly upfront. While the recommendations in the docs (30-300 seconds) fall well within this range, the upper limit of 1 hour is a backend-specific constraint that users wouldn't know without documentation.
