```
server.builder.ServerBuilder.default_timeout(mut, timeout: Duration) -> Self
```

Set the per-command dispatch deadline.

The deadline includes waiting for dispatch capacity and running the
tmux process.

A duration too large for the platform's monotonic clock is treated as
unbounded while command cancellation remains available.

## Example

```rust
let timeout = std::time::Duration::from_secs(4);
let server = libtmux::Server::builder().default_timeout(timeout).build()?;
assert_eq!(server.default_timeout(), timeout);
```
