## Side Effects

**No Database Operations**: Static response

**No Validation**: Always returns 200 OK

## Behavioral Guarantees

**Always Succeeds**: Cannot fail (no database/external dependencies)

**Response Time**: Sub-millisecond (no I/O operations)

**Idempotency**: YES (identical response every time, except timestamp)

## Aliases

**Identical Endpoint**: `GET /api/health` (Lines 26-38)

* Same response format
* Same authentication requirements
* Frontend compatibility alias (Line 25 comment)

## Use Cases

**Health Monitoring**:

* Load balancer health checks
* Kubernetes liveness/readiness probes
* Uptime monitoring services

**API Discovery**:

* Verify API is reachable
* Check API version

## Error Conditions

**None**: Endpoint cannot fail

**No Exceptions**: No try-catch block (Lines 14-23)

## Performance

**Cache-Safe**: Response can be cached briefly (timestamp changes)

**Load**: Negligible CPU/memory impact

**Concurrent Requests**: Fully thread-safe
