Problem
A process can report healthy while its database, payment provider, or FX dependency is unavailable.
Objective
Deliver a production-quality improvement to health endpoints and payment/FX dependencies that creates measurable value for correctness, security, reliability, performance, or maintainability.
Implementation scope
- Separate liveness and readiness; add bounded checks and redacted reason codes; ensure recovery does not require restart.
Acceptance criteria
- Liveness remains responsive during outages; readiness accurately changes and recovers; dependency checks cannot hang.
Required validation
- Dependency failure, timeout, recovery, status-code, and redaction tests.
- Existing tests and CI remain passing.
- Add regression coverage for the original failure mode.
- Do not weaken, delete, or skip unrelated tests to obtain a green build.
PR quality bar
- Keep the PR focused and explain design tradeoffs, compatibility impact, and test evidence.
- Avoid typo-only, documentation-only, cosmetic-only, or unrelated refactor submissions.
Out of scope
- Broad rewrites not required by the acceptance criteria.
- Changes to unrelated services, contracts, or user flows.
