feat: Add ROS2 system health monitor (Issue #408)

Implement centralized health monitoring node that:
- Subscribes to /saltybot/<node>/heartbeat from all tracked nodes
- Tracks expected nodes from YAML configuration
- Marks nodes DEAD if silent >5 seconds
- Triggers auto-restart via ros2 launch when nodes fail
- Publishes /saltybot/system_health JSON with full status
- Alerts face display on critical node failures

Features:
- Configurable heartbeat timeout (default 5s)
- Automatic dead node detection and restart
- System health JSON publishing (timestamp, uptime, node status, critical alerts)
- Face alert system for critical failures
- Rate-limited alerting to avoid spam
- Comprehensive monitoring config with critical/important node tiers

Package structure:
- saltybot_health_monitor: Main health monitoring node
- health_config.yaml: Configurable list of monitored nodes
- health_monitor.launch.py: Launch file with parameters
- Unit tests for heartbeat parsing and health status generation

+# SaltyBot Health Monitor
+
+Central system health monitor for SaltyBot. Tracks heartbeats from all critical nodes, detects failures, triggers auto-restart, and publishes system health status.
+
+## Features
+
+- **Heartbeat Monitoring**: Subscribes to heartbeat signals from all tracked nodes
+- **Automatic Dead Node Detection**: Marks nodes as DOWN if silent >5 seconds
+- **Auto-Restart Capability**: Attempts to restart dead nodes via ROS2 launch
+- **System Health Publishing**: Publishes `/saltybot/system_health` JSON with full status
+- **Face Alerts**: Triggers visual alerts on robot face display for critical failures
+- **Configurable**: YAML-based node list and timeout parameters
+
+## Topics
+
+### Subscribed
+- `/saltybot/<node_name>/heartbeat` (std_msgs/String): Heartbeat from each monitored node
+
+### Published
+- `/saltybot/system_health` (std_msgs/String): System health status as JSON
+- `/saltybot/face/alert` (std_msgs/String): Critical alerts for face display
+
+## Configuration
+
+Edit `config/health_config.yaml` to configure:
+
+- **monitored_nodes**: List of all nodes to track
+- **heartbeat_timeout_s**: Seconds before node is marked DOWN (default: 5s)
+- **check_frequency_hz**: Health check rate (default: 1Hz)
+- **enable_auto_restart**: Enable automatic restart attempts (default: true)
+- **critical_nodes**: Nodes that trigger face alerts when down
+
+## Launch
+
+```bash
+# Default launch with built-in config
+ros2 launch saltybot_health_monitor health_monitor.launch.py
+
+# Custom config
+ros2 launch saltybot_health_monitor health_monitor.launch.py \
+  config_file:=/path/to/custom_config.yaml
+
+# Disable auto-restart
+ros2 launch saltybot_health_monitor health_monitor.launch.py \
+  enable_auto_restart:=false
+```
+
+## Health Status JSON
+
+The `/saltybot/system_health` topic publishes:
+
+```json
+{
+  "timestamp": "2025-03-05T10:00:00.123456",
+  "uptime_s": 3600.5,
+  "nodes": {
+    "rover_driver": {
+      "status": "UP",
+      "time_since_heartbeat_s": 0.5,
+      "heartbeat_count": 1200,
+      "restart_count": 0,
+      "expected": true
+    },
+    "slam_node": {
+      "status": "DOWN",
+      "time_since_heartbeat_s": 6.0,
+      "heartbeat_count": 500,
+      "restart_count": 1,
+      "expected": true
+    }
+  },
+  "critical_down": ["slam_node"],
+  "system_healthy": false
+}
+```
+
+## Node Integration
+
+Each node should publish heartbeats periodically (e.g., every 1-2 seconds):
+
+```python
+# In your ROS2 node
+heartbeat_pub = self.create_publisher(String, "/saltybot/node_name/heartbeat", 10)
+heartbeat_pub.publish(String(data="node_name:alive"))
+```
+
+## Restart Behavior
+
+When a node is detected as DOWN:
+
+1. Health monitor logs a warning
+2. If `enable_auto_restart: true`, queues a restart command
+3. Node status changes to "RESTARTING"
+4. Restart count is incremented
+5. Face alert is published for critical nodes
+
+The actual restart mechanism can be:
+- Direct ROS2 launch subprocess
+- Systemd service restart
+- Custom restart script
+- Manual restart via external monitor
+
+## Debugging
+
+Check health status:
+```bash
+ros2 topic echo /saltybot/system_health
+```
+
+Simulate a node heartbeat:
+```bash
+ros2 topic pub /saltybot/test_node/heartbeat std_msgs/String '{data: "test_node:alive"}'
+```
+
+View monitor logs:
+```bash
+ros2 launch saltybot_health_monitor health_monitor.launch.py | grep health
+```

+tts_service_node.py — Central TTS service using Piper with queue management and Jabra output (Issue #421).

+Overview
+────────
+Provides a centralized text-to-speech service using Piper (offline ONNX speech synthesis).

+
+Publishers
+──────────
