Subject: [PATCH] feat: VESC CAN health monitor (Issue #651)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

New package: saltybot_vesc_health

- recovery_fsm.py: pure state machine (no ROS2/CAN deps; fully unit-tested)
  - VescHealthState: HEALTHY → DEGRADED (>500 ms) → ESTOP (>2 s) / BUS_OFF
  - VescMonitor.tick(): drives recovery sequence per VESC; startup-safe
  - VescMonitor.on_frame(): resets state on CAN frame arrival
  - VescMonitor.on_bus_off/on_bus_ok(): bus-off override + recovery
  - HealthFsm: dual-VESC wrapper aggregating both monitors

- health_monitor_node.py: ROS2 node
  - Subscribes /vesc/left/state + /vesc/right/state (JSON from vesc_telemetry)
  - Sends GET_VALUES alive frames via SocketCAN on DEGRADED state
  - Publishes /vesc/health (JSON, 10 Hz) — state, elapsed, recent faults
  - Publishes /diagnostics (DiagnosticArray, OK/WARN/ERROR per VESC)
  - Publishes /estop (JSON event) + zero /cmd_vel on e-stop trigger/clear
  - Polls ip link for bus-off state (1 Hz)
  - 200-entry fault event log included in /vesc/health

- test/test_vesc_health.py: 39 unit tests, all passing, no hardware needed
- config/vesc_health_params.yaml, launch/vesc_health.launch.py
