Testnet shard 1 down #4654

Description
After upgrading the testnet to enable leader rotation and transition to external validators, no external node was elected for shard 1's committee by the targeted epoch, causing shard 1 to fail (while shard 0 operates normally). Investigation revealed shard 1 lacks a committee because internal validators are ineligible, and there was no external validation at the epoch transition.

Proposed Solution
We need to undo the hardfork with a new hardfork, restoring the previous setup where internal validators manage consensus. This change will allow shard 0 to recalculate participants for both shards, including internal nodes. Upon implementation in shard 0, we should restart shard 1 nodes to recognize the new committee for consensus initiation. If this restart doesn't trigger the process, we'll implement a temporary fix in shard 1 by hardcoding the committee (based on what shard 0 calculates at startup) until shard 1 stabilizes and can update its database with the correct committee information. After ensuring shard 1's stable operation and database update following a successful epoch, we can remove the temporary fix, verify external validators' participation, and proceed with re-externalizing the network.
