# Ad hoc tasks 2026-09-14

## Bound /readyz so the Service can become Ready

Inbox from grok (INFD-WP-0002-T03): `audit-core` Service has no ready
endpoints. The live pod is Ready=false since 2026-09-11T08:27:26Z;
`/healthz` is 200; `/readyz` hangs >8s against kubelet `timeoutSeconds: 2`.
Informed Decision accept is 503 `approval_path_not_connected` until a ready
endpoint exists.

Cause: `/readyz` called `retention_policy`, which walks the hash chain and
opens a pooled connection with no libpq `connect_timeout` and a 30s
statement timeout. A hung walk or handshake looks the same as down.

Change: `/readyz` checks `health()` (`SELECT 1`) under a 1.5s budget,
publishes last-known `tamper_evidence` without walking, and sets
`connect_timeout=1`. Integrity stays on `/v1/integrity`. Production needs a
receiver image rebuild and rollout after this lands.

Evidence: Informed Decision
