fix: P1 security bugs - cryptographic IDs and GC-managed heartbeat

- genOid: use std/sysrand for cryptographic randomness instead of rand()
- HeartbeatThread: change from ptr with manual alloc/dealloc to ref object
- Add error handling for DB open in heartbeat thread
- Remove unused globalChannel and times import

Closes: skills-0wk, skills-bk7x, skills-69sz, skills-ib9u, skills-kvdl, skills-n6zf
