service-health-check-audit

Diagnose chatbot startup failures and port mismatches by running a structured audit that verifies entry points, startup commands, and virtual environment configurations to identify where scripts, docs, and deployment configs diverge.

Port drift occurs when configured ports diverge between scripts, documentation, and deployment configs. It causes service health checks to fail by probing incorrect endpoints, which prevents the system from confirming if databases and dependencies are reachable.

Verify health endpoints and database reachability by enforcing a health check validation sequence across the chatbot stack, ensuring probes return expected statuses and confirming that dependencies are operational before completing the audit.

You can use this audit to reconcile documentation with actual runtime behavior by surfacing mismatches between docs and live services, which allows you to update drift risk maps and enforce consistent CI checks across the stack.

This health check audit works for complex chatbot deployments by systematically verifying startup sequences, entry points, and environmental dependencies to ensure reliable operation across divergent scripts and deployment configs.

When service health checks fail due to venv configuration divergence, run the audit to identify the exact mismatches between scripts and deployment configs, then apply the recommended remediation steps to align the environments.
