+Waits driven by the browser's network activity — CDP on Chrome/Edge, [BiDi](https://www.w3.org/TR/webdriver-bidi/) on Firefox and other BiDi-capable browsers. Throws `UnsupportedOperationException` on drivers with neither.
+
+```java
+// Wait until no request has been in flight for 500ms (the default), or a custom quiet period
+WaitEngine.waitForNetworkIdle();
+WaitEngine.waitForNetworkIdle(Duration.ofSeconds(1));
+
+// Wait for a response matching a URL glob (same syntax as NetworkMock.stub), get its status code
+int status = WaitEngine.waitForResponse("**/api/checkout");
+```
+
+Both are bounded by the configured explicit timeout by default; pass a `Duration` to override it for `waitForResponse`.

 ### Custom condition
 
 ```java
 // Escape hatch — pass any ExpectedCondition
-getWait().wait(ExpectedConditions.numberOfWindowsToBe(2));
+WaitEngine.wait(ExpectedConditions.numberOfWindowsToBe(2));

 ## Timeout override
 
-Use a custom timeout for a single wait without changing the global config:
-
-```java
-getWait(30).waitForVisible(By.id("slow-element"));  // 30-second timeout
-```
+`waitForNetworkIdle(Duration)` and `waitForResponse(String, Duration)` take an explicit timeout per call. Every other method reads `timeouts.explicit` from `selenium-boot.yml`.
