+# Fix for ReadingOrderModel AssertionError with document_timeout
+
+## Problem Description
+
+When `pipeline_options.document_timeout` was set in the latest version of docling (v2.24.0+), an `AssertionError` was raised in the `ReadingOrderModel` at line 132 (previously line 140):
+
+```python
+assert size is not None, "Page size is not initialized."
+```
+
+This error occurred in `ReadingOrderModel._readingorder_elements_to_docling_doc()` when processing pages that weren't fully initialized due to timeout.
+
+## Root Cause
+
+When a document processing timeout occurs:
+1. The pipeline stops processing pages mid-way through the document
+2. Some pages remain uninitialized with `page.size = None`
+3. These uninitialized pages are passed to the `ReadingOrderModel`
+4. The `ReadingOrderModel` expects all pages to have `size != None`, causing the assertion to fail
+
+## Solution
+
+The fix was implemented in `docling/pipeline/base_pipeline.py` (lines 196-206):
+
+```python
+# Filter out uninitialized pages (those with size=None) that may remain
+# after timeout or processing failures to prevent assertion errors downstream
+initial_page_count = len(conv_res.pages)
+conv_res.pages = [page for page in conv_res.pages if page.size is not None]
+
+if len(conv_res.pages) < initial_page_count:
+    _log.info(
+        f"Filtered out {initial_page_count - len(conv_res.pages)} uninitialized pages "
+        f"due to timeout or processing failures"
+    )
+```
+
+This fix:
+1. **Filters out uninitialized pages** before they reach the ReadingOrderModel
+2. **Prevents the AssertionError** by ensuring all pages have `size != None`
+3. **Maintains partial conversion results** by keeping successfully processed pages
+4. **Logs the filtering action** for transparency
+
+## Verification
+
+The fix has been verified with comprehensive tests that:
+1. ✅ Confirm timeout scenarios don't cause AssertionError
+2. ✅ Validate that filtered pages are compatible with ReadingOrderModel
+3. ✅ Ensure normal processing (without timeout) still works correctly
+
+## Status
+
+✅ **FIXED** - The issue has been resolved and the fix is working correctly.
+
+The conversion will now complete with `ConversionStatus.PARTIAL_SUCCESS` when a timeout occurs, instead of crashing with an AssertionError.
