Research direction

Start by locating the existing liveness check and the code that configures Redis, the API key, and audio dependencies. Decide and document how each dependency affects readiness, while ensuring probes do not invoke expensive DeepSeek or Whisper calls. Done means a separate readiness endpoint or clearly documented readiness behavior meets all listed acceptance criteria.

Description

good first issue

Goal

Distinguish a running process from an API instance that can actually analyze requests.

Acceptance criteria

  • Add a readiness endpoint or documented readiness behavior separate from the liveness check.
  • Define how Redis, the API key, and audio dependencies are handled.
  • Avoid making expensive DeepSeek or Whisper calls on every probe.
