+### 21:41 Prompt

-  
+How can I discover the pinentry timeout for signing commits with GPG on this machine?
+
+### 21:43 Response
+
+Updated todo list
+
+I’ll inspect the installed GPG tooling and effective agent configuration, including any Windows and WSL `gpg-agent.conf` files, then distinguish configured cache timeouts from pinentry’s own prompt behavior.
+
+Ran terminal command: $gpg = Get-Command gpg -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue; $gpgconf = Get-Command gpgconf -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue; $pinentry = Get-Command pinentry* -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue; [pscustomobject]@{ Gpg = $gpg.Source; GpgConf = $gpgconf.Source; Pinentry = ($pinentry.Source -join ', ') }; if ($gpg) { gpg --version | Select-Object -First 4 }; if ($gpgconf) { gpgconf --list-dirs; gpgconf --list-options gpg-agent | Select-String -Pattern 'cache-ttl|max-cache-ttl|pinentry-program' }
+
+Ran terminal command: $paths = @("$HOME\.gnupg\gpg-agent.conf", "$env:APPDATA\gnupg\gpg-agent.conf", "$env:GNUPGHOME\gpg-agent.conf") | Where-Object { $_ -and (Test-Path $_) } | Select-Object -Unique; if ($paths) { foreach ($path in $paths) { Write-Output "--- $path"; Get-Content $path } } else { 'No Windows gpg-agent.conf found in standard locations.' }
+
+Ran terminal command: wsl.exe --distribution Ubuntu-24.04 -- bash -lc 'command -v gpg ; true; command -v gpgconf ; true; gpg --version 2>/dev/null | head -n 4; printf "homedir="; gpgconf --list-dirs homedir 2>/dev/null ; true; gpgconf --list-options gpg-agent 2>/dev/null | grep -E "^(default-cache-ttl|max-cache-ttl|pinentry-program):" ; true; if [ -f ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf ]; then echo "--- ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf"; cat ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf; else echo "No WSL ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf found."; fi'
+
+Ran terminal command: git config --show-origin --get gpg.program; git config --show-origin --get commit.gpgSign; git config --show-origin --get user.signingkey; git config --show-origin --get gpg.format
+
+Git commit signing uses native Gpg4win, not WSL. Its user config sets both passphrase cache limits to `86400` seconds, but that is cache lifetime, not necessarily how long an open pinentry dialog waits; I’m checking whether this GPG version exposes a separate prompt timeout and whether system configuration overrides it.

+Ran terminal command: gpgconf --list-options gpg-agent | Select-String -Pattern 'timeout|ttl|pinentry'
+
+Ran terminal command: $files = @('C:\ProgramData\GNU\etc\gnupg\gpg-agent.conf','C:\Program Files\GnuPG\etc\gnupg\gpg-agent.conf','C:\Users\edburns\AppData\Roaming\gnupg\common.conf'); foreach ($file in $files) { if (Test-Path $file) { Write-Output "--- $file"; Get-Content $file } }
+
+Ran terminal command: $pinentries = Get-Command pinentry* -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Source -Unique; foreach ($exe in $pinentries) { Write-Output "--- $exe"; & $exe --version 2>&1 | Select-Object -First 3 }
+
+Git uses native Gpg4win:
+
+`C:\Program Files\GnuPG\bin\gpg.exe`
+
+Your effective settings are:
+
+- Pinentry prompt timeout: **not configured**, so no agent-imposed timeout.
+- Passphrase cache lifetime: **86,400 seconds (24 hours)**.
+- Maximum cache lifetime: **86,400 seconds (24 hours)**.
+
+Configuration: gpg-agent.conf
+
+```text
+default-cache-ttl 86400
+max-cache-ttl 86400
+```
+
+To inspect these settings:
+
+```powershell
+gpgconf --list-options gpg-agent |
+    Select-String 'pinentry-timeout|default-cache-ttl|max-cache-ttl'
+```
+
+The empty final value for `pinentry-timeout` means it is unset. The final `86400` values are your configured cache TTLs. After changing the configuration, reload it with:
+
+```powershell
+gpgconf --reload gpg-agent
+```

+### 21:43 Prompt
+
+Thanks for that. It turns out what I meant to ask was this, and you answered it.
+
+> - Passphrase cache lifetime: **86,400 seconds (24 hours)**.
+> - Maximum cache lifetime: **86,400 seconds (24 hours)**.
+
+I need to extend those to five days.
+
+### 21:45 Response
+
+Updated todo list
+
+I’ll update both native Gpg4win cache TTL settings from one day to five days (`432000` seconds), reload the agent, and verify the effective values.
+
+Generating patch (8 lines) in [](file:///c%3A/Users/edburns/AppData/Roaming/gnupg/gpg-agent.conf)
+
+
+```
+
+```
+The configuration now requests five-day cache lifetimes. I’m reloading Gpg4win’s agent and checking the effective values it reports.
+
+Ran terminal command: gpgconf --reload gpg-agent; if ($LASTEXITCODE -ne 0) { exit $LASTEXITCODE }; gpgconf --list-options gpg-agent | Select-String -Pattern '^(default-cache-ttl|max-cache-ttl):'
+
+Updated and reloaded Gpg4win:
+
+- `default-cache-ttl`: `432000` seconds
+- `max-cache-ttl`: `432000` seconds
+
+Both are now five days.

+
+### 21:45 Prompt
+
+Is there a side-effect free operation we can take that will cause me to be re-prompted to enter the pinentry passphrase so it is stored for the new duration?
+
+### 21:46 Response
+
+Updated todo list
+
+Yes. Clear the current agent cache, then create and discard a test signature:
+
+```powershell
+gpgconf --kill gpg-agent
+'cache refresh test' |
+    gpg --local-user CE0B830DBC88C929 --detach-sign --output NUL
+```
+
+This will:
+
+1. Clear cached GPG passphrases.
+2. Restart `gpg-agent` automatically.
+3. Prompt for your passphrase.
+4. Discard the generated signature via `NUL`.
+5. Cache the entered passphrase using the new five-day duration.
+
+It does not modify the repository, commits, keys, or source files.
+
+### 21:46 Prompt
+
+
+Please do those operations now.
+
+### 21:48 Response
+
+Updated todo list
+
+I’ll clear the current GPG agent cache and perform a discarded test signature. Enter the passphrase directly in the Gpg4win pinentry window when it appears.
+
+Ran terminal command: gpgconf --kill gpg-agent; if ($LASTEXITCODE -ne 0) { exit $LASTEXITCODE }; 'cache refresh test' | gpg --local-user CE0B830DBC88C929 --detach-sign --output NUL; if ($LASTEXITCODE -ne 0) { exit $LASTEXITCODE }; Write-Output 'Test signature succeeded; the passphrase is cached under the five-day TTL.'
+
+Test signature succeeded. Your passphrase is now cached under the five-day TTL.
