mol-deacon-patrol: Add health ping nudges to clear agent backoff (gt-l6ro3.2)

Browse Source 
The health-scan step now includes gt nudge commands that serve dual purposes:
1. Liveness verification - agent responds to prove it's alive
2. Backoff reset - any nudge resets agent's backoff to base interval

This ensures patrol agents (witness/refinery) remain responsive even during
quiet periods when the feed has no mutations. Since Deacon patrols every
~1-2 minutes, maximum backoff is bounded by the ping interval.

**Health Ping Benefit**: The nudge commands serve dual purposes:
1. **Liveness verification** - Agent responds to prove it's alive
2. **Backoff reset** - Any nudge resets agent's backoff to base interval
This ensures patrol agents remain responsive even during quiet periods when the
feed has no mutations. Deacon patrols every ~1-2 minutes, so maximum backoff
is bounded by the ping interval.
