oib 06e48ef34b chore: standardize configuration, logging, and error handling across blockchain node and coordinator API 
- Add infrastructure.md and workflow files to .gitignore to prevent sensitive info leaks
- Change blockchain node mempool backend default from memory to database for persistence
- Refactor blockchain node logger with StructuredLogFormatter and AuditLogger (consistent with coordinator)
- Add structured logging fields: service, module, function, line number
- Unify coordinator config with Database
