Research direction
Start at the Flask backend application entry point and review how its existing routes are defined. Add the requested GET /health route, then verify that it returns HTTP 200 with a JSON body containing status: ok.

Description
Summary
Currently, there is no dedicated health check endpoint to verify that the Flask backend is running correctly.
Adding a lightweight /health endpoint would make it easier to:
- Verify backend availability
- Support deployment checks
- Integrate with CI or monitoring tools in the future
Proposed Improvement
Add a simple route:
@app.route("/health", methods=["GET"])
def health():
return jsonify({
"status": "ok"
}), 200
