var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);
var app = builder.Build();

app.MapGet("/health/live", () => Results.Ok("Alive"));
app.MapGet("/health/ready", () =>
{
    // simulate readiness (e.g. DB check)
    bool dbReady = CheckDatabaseConnection();
    return dbReady ? Results.Ok("Ready") : Results.StatusCode(503);
});
