Description
What are you trying to do?
HealthcheckWaitStrategy initializes _startup_timeout from the testcontainers configuration. It can be overridden by calling with_startup_timeout.
Is there a way to indicate "Use whatever is defined on the image we are starting"?
Where are you trying to do it?
MyContainer.waiting_for(HealthcheckWaitStrategy.with_startup_timeout(XXXX))
# XXXX should be > whatever is defined on the container image

Research direction
Start in core/testcontainers/core/waiting_utils.py at HealthcheckWaitStrategy and inspect how startup timeouts and image healthchecks are currently handled. Determine the expected behavior when the strategy uses the image's HEALTHCHECK, then add coverage showing that the configured image healthcheck is respected and run the relevant test suite.
