+## Deployment Evidence

+This lab was deployed to a temporary EC2 instance and the instance was later
+destroyed after the exercise. The repo is kept as deployment automation
+evidence, not as a currently running service.

 ### `health-check.yml` — Uptime Monitoring
 Runs hourly. Hits `/api/health` for configured environments. If a check fails, the workflow creates one health-check issue or comments on the existing open issue instead of creating duplicates.
 
+Current scheduled health-check runs skip endpoint checks unless `PROD_URL` or
