to replicate logs or snapshots. It communicates with `RaftCore` through
channels.

- **`HeartbeatWorkersHandle`**: This control handle manages all heartbeat
tasks: `HeartbeatWorker`.

- **`HeartbeatWorker`**: This specialized task is solely responsible for
sending heartbeat messages (in the form of an empty
[`AppendEntriesRequest`]) to a specific target node. This task, separate
from the `ReplicationCore`, is responsible for sending heartbeats. This
design prevents intensive log entry replication from blocking heartbeat
acknowledgments, which could otherwise lead to the Leader's lease expiration
and subsequent step down.

- **[`RaftNetwork`]**: This is a user-provided component that implements the
network transport layer, e.g., sending logs to a remote node or sending a
[`VoteRequest`] to a remote node.
