# Health Checks
Liveness and readiness endpoints that check the database, cache, queue, search, KMS, email and AI providers.
Use when Kubernetes or a load balancer must know whether the app is up and ready to take traffic.

## Compatibility
| Line | Module | Status | Since | Receipt | In isolation (empty preset) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0.8 (0.8.0) | 0.3.0 | untested | - | - | - |

0.9: Typecheck failed: TS2339 Property 'path' does not exist on type '{ GET: { requireAuth: boolean; }; }'.
Built for any version (peers *). A declaration, not a test.

## What it adds (read statically from the published code)
Few contracts read from src/.
- Tables (0): none
- API routes: 2 (2 public): public GET /api/health/live, GET /api/health/ready
- Permissions to grant (0): none
- Events emitted (0): none
- Settings needed (names only): SMTP_HOST, SENDGRID_API_KEY, POSTMARK_API_TOKEN, RESEND_API_KEY, OPENAI_API_KEY, ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY, TENANT_DATA_ENCRYPTION_ENABLED, VAULT_ADDR, VAULT_TOKEN and 8 more
- Talks to: no URL found in the code
- Replaces or conflicts: none

## Install plan (0.9)
1. yarn mercato module add @fullstackhouse/open-mercato-health@0.3.0 --allow-third-party
2. yarn generate

Agent policy (0.9): refuse. Broken at typecheck on 0.9 since 29 Oct. Third-party code runs with access to all tenants' data.

# @fullstackhouse/open-mercato-health

Health check endpoints for Open Mercato applications. Provides Kubernetes-style liveness and readiness probes with configurable service checks.

## Installation

```bash
npm install @fullstackhouse/open-mercato-health
```

## Quick Start

### Next.js App Router

```typescript
// app/api/health/live/route.ts
import { createNextHealthHandlers } from '@fullstackhouse/open-mercato-health/integrations/nextjs'

const handlers = createNextHealthHandlers(async () => {
  const { createRequestContainer } = await import('@open-mercato/shared/lib/di/container')
  return createRequestContainer()
})
export const GET = handlers.live

// app/api/health/ready/route.ts
export const GET = handlers.ready
export const dynamic = 'force-dynamic'
```

> **Why the lazy loader?** Under Turbopack production builds, a static top-level
> `import { createRequestContainer }` can be captured as `undefined` inside the
> handler closure, causing `getContainer is not a function` at runtime. Passing
> a `() => import(...)` loader defers module resolution until request time and
> sidesteps the bug. The same pattern applies to `createNextReadyHandler`.

## Endpoints

### Liveness (`GET /api/health/live`)

Returns `ok` with HTTP 200. No dependencies are checked - this indicates the process is running.

```
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: text/plain

ok
```

### Readiness (`GET /api/health/ready`)

Returns JSON with check results. HTTP 200 when all required checks pass, 503 when any required check fails.

```json
{
  "status": "ok",
  "timestamp": "2026-02-23T12:00:00.000Z",
  "durationMs": 18,
  "checks": [
    { "name": "Database", "required": true, "status": "ok", "latencyMs": 7, "message": null },
    { "name": "Cache", "required": true, "status": "ok", "latencyMs": 2, "message": null },
    { "name": "Search (Fulltext)", "required": false, "status": "skip", "latencyMs": 0, "message": "Check disabled or not configured" }
  ]
}
```

## Status Values

| Overall Status | Description | HTTP Code |
|----------------|-------------|-----------|
| `ok` | All required checks pass, optional checks pass or skip | 200 |
| `degraded` | All required checks pass, at least one optional check fails | 200 |
| `fail` | Any required check fails | 503 |

| Check Status | Description |
|--------------|-------------|
| `ok` | Check passed |
| `fail` | Check failed |
| `skip` | Check disabled or not configured |

## Built-in Checks

| Check | Required | Description |
|-------|----------|-------------|
| Database | Yes | Executes `SELECT 1` via EntityManager |
| Cache | Yes | Performs set/get/delete cycle |
| Queue (Redis) | No | Verifies BullMQ queue connectivity |
| Search (Fulltext) | No | Checks Meilisearch availability |
| Search (Vector) | No | Checks vector search provider |
| KMS (Vault) | No | Verifies encryption service health |
| Email Delivery | No | Checks email provider configuration |
| AI Providers | No | Verifies AI service connectivity |

## Configuration

Control which checks run via environment variables:

```bash
# Enable/disable individual checks (true, false, or auto)
HEALTH_READY_CHECK_DATABASE_ENABLED=true
HEALTH_READY_CHECK_CACHE_ENABLED=true
HEALTH_READY_CHECK_QUEUE_REDIS_ENABLED=auto
HEALTH_READY_CHECK_SEARCH_FULLTEXT_ENABLED=auto
HEALTH_READY_CHECK_SEARCH_VECTOR_ENABLED=auto
HEALTH_READY_CHECK_KMS_ENABLED=auto
HEALTH_READY_CHECK_EMAIL_DELIVERY_ENABLED=auto
HEALTH_READY_CHECK_EXTERNAL_AI_PROVIDERS_ENABLED=auto
```

- `true`: Always run the check
- `false`: Never run the check
- `auto` (default): Run if the service is configured

## Custom Checks

Create custom health check strategies by extending `BaseReadyCheckStrategy`:

```typescript
import { BaseReadyCheckStrategy } from '@fullstackhouse/open-mercato-health'
import type { CheckKey, HealthContainer } from '@fullstackhouse/open-mercato-health'

class StripeReadyCheckStrategy extends BaseReadyCheckStrategy {
  readonly id = 'STRIPE' as CheckKey
