             Summary: camel-main - camel.main.duration alias of durationMaxSeconds with a time unit (15s, 2m)
                 Key: CAMEL-24706
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAMEL-24706
             Project: Camel
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: camel-main
            Reporter: Claus Ibsen


Add camel.main.duration as an alias of camel.main.durationMaxSeconds that accepts a value with a time unit (15s, 2m, 1h, or a plain number of seconds).

Why: while benchmarking AI-assisted route authoring (camel-jbang-mcp, local and hosted models, 14 runs on 2026-09-13), the model wrote camel.main.duration=15s (or duration-seconds, durationSeconds) in application.properties in nearly every run, and lost a correction round each time to "Unknown option". A human rarely sets this option, but an AI uses it during development to make a run stop by itself, so the natural spelling should work. The CLI already has --max-seconds.

Suggested: a String option duration on MainConfigurationProperties (camel-main) that parses the value with TimeUtils.toMilliSeconds and sets durationMaxSeconds; documented in the main configuration metadata so the catalog validators and the camel-jbang-mcp tools accept it.
