fix(health-check): reduce timeout from 300s to 60s

- Change health check interval from 300s to 60s (5 blocks at 12s/block)
- Change threshold from 300s to 60s for faster dead connection detection
- Add unit tests for health check timeout behavior

Fixes connection death after ~547s where 300s health check plus
websocket idle timeout caused validator event loop to stop receiving
block events. Now detects and reconnects within 60s of block silence.
