We need a way to provide gas to new accounts and also allow accounts to request more gas if they need it.

Our gas token won't have economic value. It's just there as a potential rate limiting mechanism, if needed.

Outline:

Initial gas amount
Refill amount
Refill wait time

Of course, limiting gas doesn't help against DoS type attacks unless accounts are also limited somehow.

There is now a faucet contract in place, however we need to provide an external trigger to cause the chain to fund new accounts.

This probably looks like a small server that allows users to POST their account pub key to some endpoint and then it calls the faucet contract to dispense some gas to them.

AI gen'd plan to implement it: https://forge.ourworld.tf/geomind_research/hero_ledger/src/branch/main/docs/plans/ACCOUNT_ACTIVATION_RELAYER.md

Activation service is done and added to provisioning scripts so it gets managed by zinit.
