Summary

This is a follow up issue of #5360.

Current behavior:
Our backfilling process uses an excessively large number of epochs (300) for both Forest and Lotus. This value could be reduced and adjusted to better align with the requirements of our api compare services (10-ish).

Proposed change:
Remove all hardcoded values in the YAML files or Rust code. Consider exposing a flag in forest-tool api serve to specify the number of epochs to backfill, limiting it to the required amount.

Completion Criteria

• All CI checks are passing
