test: fix dead man switch config tests and file structure

- Rewrite test_config_fallbacks.py: simplified, fixed closed-file bug
- Fix health_status.json: pure JSON without trailing comments
- Fix deadman_switch.json: valid JSON with sync to emergency config
- Add Escalation section to DEADMAN_SWITCH_README.md

+Escalation thresholds and notifications are configured via Telegram. When the switch
+triggers, operators are notified in the Timmy Foundation Telegram channel on-call.

-# ─── Deadman Switch Configuration ────────────────────────────────────────────
-#
-# This file defines the dead man switch behavior for the Bezalel wizard.
-# It is read by deadman-fallback.py and deadman-switch.sh to determine
-# thresholds, fallback actions, and recovery behavior.
-#
-# Key settings:
-#   - health_check_interval_seconds: How often to run diagnostics (default 60s)
-#   - heartbeat_timeout_seconds: How long to wait before declaring primary dead (300s = 5min)
-#   - max_restart_attempts: How many times to retry before escalating
-#   - restart_cooldown_seconds: Cooldown between restart attempts
-#   - fallback_chain: Ordered list of fallback providers/models
-#   - emergency_mode: Actions taken when all inference fails
-#   - recovery: Auto-restore behavior when primary recovers
-#   - snapshot: Config backup strategy
-#   - vps_monitoring: SSH-based VPS health checks
-#
-# This JSON file is deployment-time configuration. The Python script uses
-# these values to make autonomous decisions about failover and recovery.
