🔍 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:

AspectgvAgent Approach
Binary checkos.Stat(binPath) - no subprocess
Version checkBackground health checker (not on /health path)
CachinglastChecks map[string]HealthStatus
IntervalPeriodic (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.
