Web client's backend server has no health/readiness endpoint

Which client?
Web
The problem
clients/web/server/server.ts exposes the proxy/API routes but nothing like /healthz -- there's no cheap way for an orchestrator (Docker, Kubernetes, a process manager) to check the backend process is up without exercising a real proxy/connect flow.
Solution you have in mind (optional)
Add a minimal unauthenticated GET /healthz (or /api/health) returning 200 plus basic status, matching the pattern used by most Node HTTP services.
