Description

if wallet server stops sending notifications for some reason, client should detect that and switch to another server

for example: if you send a tx and never receive a notification for it, but then you get a new block that contains an address notification for that tx, then you know the server is not sending you notifications

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how the client currently receives notifications and identify where to add a timeout or check mechanism. Look for existing heartbeat or ping functionality. Then implement a detection and fallback logic that switches servers when notifications are missed.
