Consider a longer default on-chain timelock #95

@Jolah1

Description

@Jolah1

Idea

Current default is ~4320 blocks (~30 days). A longer default (e.g. 6-12 months) would:

  • make optional on-chain re-vaulting rare and cheap relative to the value protected, and
  • lengthen the trust-minimized backstop window per re-vault.

Tradeoff

A longer timelock means a legitimate heir waits longer to claim after the owner goes silent. Evaluate the default and the presets in `ghostkey-web/src/timing.ts`.

Pairs with the optional on-chain re-vault issue.
