Context

The Dockerfile HEALTHCHECK currently hits /api/v3/current, which makes a DB query on every check. If the database is temporarily slow, Docker may restart a healthy container.

Task

Switch the HEALTHCHECK to use a lightweight /health endpoint (verify it exists or create one). The endpoint should return 200 without hitting the database.

HEALTHCHECK --interval=30s --timeout=10s --start-period=10s --retries=3 \
    CMD curl -f http://localhost:80/health || exit 1

Added GET /health to app/main.py (returns {"status": "ok"}, no DB queries) and updated the Dockerfile HEALTHCHECK to use /health instead of /api/v3/current.
