# Health Check

`GET /health`

Health check endpoint for Kubernetes liveness/readiness probes.

IMPORTANT: This endpoint must be extremely fast and lightweight.
- No database operations
- No external service calls
- Just returns a static response

`async def`, deliberately (2026-09-09). As a plain `def` it ran in the
shared thread pool, so during a class transition the probe queued behind
46 threads of dashboard reads and took 25 s — which is how two pods were
pulled from the Service on 2026-09-08 while serving fine. A static
return cannot block the loop; answering from the loop means the probe
waits only for the loop's next turn, never for a thread.

## Response `200`

Successful Response

- unknown
