test(#282): Verify HTTP request timeout configuration

Added explicit tests to verify HTTP timeout protection against DoS attacks.
The 10-second timeout was already configured in FederationModule via
HttpModule.register({ timeout: 10000 }), preventing slowloris and resource
exhaustion attacks.

Changes:
- Added http-timeout.spec.ts with 4 tests verifying timeout configuration
- Verified all federation HTTP requests use configured HttpService
- Documented timeout configuration in scratchpad
- All services (command, query, event, connection, agent) protected

Verification:
- command.service.ts:100 uses httpService.post with timeout
- query.service.ts:100 uses httpService.post with timeout
- event.service.ts:185 uses httpService.post with timeout
- connection.service.ts:76,341 uses httpService with timeout
- federation-agent.service.ts uses httpService with timeout

Impact:
- No security vulnerability - timeout already configured
- Added verification tests to ensure timeout remains in place
- All HTTP requests protected against slowloris DoS attacks
- 4/4 new tests pass

Fixes #282
