💡 Motivation and Context

Fixes #1089.

timeout and feature_flags_request_timeout_seconds are annotated as int on AsyncClient and the request helpers. On Client and Consumer they have no annotation, so type checkers infer int from the defaults. As a result, timeout=2.5 fails type checks even though both values go straight to requests/httpx, which accept floats. Newer APIs already use float: OfflineEvaluations(timeout: float = 15) and flush(timeout_seconds: Optional[float]).

This PR annotates both options as float everywhere they're declared or passed through:

• Client, AsyncClient, Consumer and _AsyncConsumer
• posthog.request, posthog._async_request and posthog.capture_v1
• the posthog.feature_flags_request_timeout_seconds module default

Two non-SDK files needed the same change so mypy stays clean:

• typings/requests/__init__.pyi: our local stub typed Session.post/get timeout as int, which is narrower than real requests. The stub's own Session.request already used float.
• sdk_compliance_adapter/adapter.py: its batch_post/post_v1 wrappers replace the SDK functions, so their signatures have to match.

Public API

The snapshot diff is annotation-only (8 lines). Runtime behavior and defaults are unchanged, and type checkers still accept existing int arguments. The only code that could see a new static-typing error reads these values back as int, or replaces the request helpers with int-typed functions. Shipping as a patch.

💚 How did you test it?

• pytest posthog/test --timeout=30: 5135 passed. This ran before the final stub and adapter edits. The focused sdk_compliance_adapter, test_request.py and test_capture_v1.py run after those edits: 189 passed.
• mypy --no-site-packages --config-file mypy.ini . | mypy-baseline filter: no new errors in tracked files
• ruff format --check, ruff check, make public_api_check and python -W error -c "import posthog" all pass

No new tests, because nothing changes at runtime. The mypy check is what guards this change.

🤖 Agent context

Autonomy: Human-driven (agent-assisted)

• Claude Code investigated Type annotation for the timeout client initializer is int #1089 against main, then made the annotation change across the SDK. mypy flagged the local requests stub and the compliance adapter, so they were widened to match.
• No earlier PRs or issues on this were found.
• typings/requests keeps its other narrow signatures. Only timeout was widened.
