Overview

This change introduces automatic WebSocket ping mechanisms within the run_ws_thread function in live_log_service.py to enhance connection stability for nodes that might experience long periods of inactivity or network fluctuations.

Previously, the run_forever method for the WebSocket connection lacked explicit heartbeat mechanisms, which could lead to connections timing out silently or becoming stale without proper re-establishment, resulting in service disruption.

This PR configures next_ws.run_forever() to include ping_interval=15 seconds and ping_timeout=10 seconds. This mandates that a ping frame is sent every 15 seconds, and if a pong is not received within 10 seconds, the connection will be closed and a reconnection attempt initiated. This proactive monitoring improves the resilience against dropped connections managed by intermediary proxies or load balancers, leading to improved stability for frequently connecting/disconnecting scenarios.

No breaking changes are introduced; this is an enhancement to the underlying WebSocket management logic.
