Pull Request Overview
This PR addresses production deployment failures caused by the database container being marked unhealthy before it fully initializes. The changes extend healthcheck tolerance across all Docker Compose configurations to accommodate resource-constrained production environments.
Key Changes
- Extended healthcheck grace period from 10s to 30s for initial volume initialization
- Doubled retry attempts from 5 to 10, extending the total retry window from 50s to 100s
- Added explicit exit code handling (
|| exit 1) to align with existing healthcheck patterns used by other services

Production deployments fail with "container banktracking-database is unhealthy" due to insufficient healthcheck grace period and retry limits in resource-constrained environments.
