What It Does

Runs configurable health probes against all registered services and exposes a unified /health/ endpoint aggregating their status. A background watchdog monitors probe results and automatically restarts unhealthy services to reduce manual intervention. Service discovery registration allows dynamic addition of new services without restarting the plugin.
