Health Endpoint Fix vs gvAgent Design

Output
🔍 Health Endpoint Fix vs gvAgent Design
✓ No Impact on gvAgent Design
The konsole fix is implementation-specific. The gvAgent design already addresses this pattern correctly.
The Konsole Bug (Fixed)
The old konsole /health endpoint spawned claude --version on every request to check availability. During heavy turns, this caused:
- 503 errors (health check timeout)
- RECONNECTING status in dashboard
- Cascading failures
Fix: Cache availability at startup, make handleHealth() synchronous.
gvAgent Design Already Handles This
The gvAgentDesign.md has explicit patterns:
| Aspect | gvAgent Approach |
|---|---|
| Binary check | os.Stat(binPath) - no subprocess |
| Version check | Background health checker (not on /health path) |
| Caching | lastChecks map[string]HealthStatus |
| Interval | Periodic (30s), not per-request |
Key Design Section (gvAgentDesign.md:3182-3267)
type HealthChecker struct {
manager *ProviderManager
interval time.Duration // Background periodic check
lastChecks map[string]HealthStatus // Cached results
mu sync.RWMutex
}The HealthChecker runs in the background on an interval. The /health endpoint just returns cached status.
Summary
The konsole fix aligns with the gvAgent design - both now cache health status rather than spawning subprocesses per-request. No documentation updates needed.
