Description

I would like to suggest that matrix-hookshot supports the detection of missing heart beat webhook calls. I am thinking of a webhook that has to be called every n minutes, e.g. every 5 minutes. If the web hook is not called for a period two times this, so not within 10 minutes, the hookshot bot emits a message indicating that the heart beat is missing.

Research direction

The issue does not identify files, tests, or entry points. First clarify the webhook configuration and missing-heartbeat behavior, then trace the existing webhook handling and message-emission paths; it is done when a webhook expected every n minutes produces a Matrix message after two missed intervals.
