If a Scatter-Gather route times out, which error is raised?

Explanation:
When a Scatter-Gather route waits for responses from multiple targets, it collects them until a configured timeout. If that waiting period elapses before all responses arrive, Mule raises a MULE:TIMEOUT error. This indicates the operation didn’t complete in the allowed time, signaling a timing issue rather than a specific downstream failure. If there are multiple sub-route failures within the time window, you might see a composite error, but the actual timeout condition maps to the timeout error.
