feat(T1.8): implement health checks for Kubernetes deployment

- Add internal/health package with health checker
- Implement three endpoints: /health, /health/live, /health/ready
- /health returns full JSON report with component status, latency, timestamp
- /health/live for K8s liveness probe (service running)
- /health/ready for K8s readiness probe (ready to accept traffic)
- Temporal connectivity check via GetWorkflow call with timeout
- Health check caching (30s interval) to prevent excessive checks
- Graceful shutdown: health server stops on SIGINT/SIGTERM
- Add --health flag to starter command to run health check
- Worker runs health server on port 8081 alongside task queue worker
- 10/10 unit tests passing
- All verification criteria met

+# T1.8: Health Checks for Kubernetes
+
+**Submilestone:** T1 (Production Hardening)
+**Status:** ✅ COMPLETE
+**Branch:** `task/T1.8`
+
+## Overview
+
+Implement comprehensive health checks for Kubernetes deployments with liveness and readiness probes.
+
+## Requirements
+
+### Endpoints
+
+- **GET /health** - Full health report (JSON)
+  - Returns 200 if healthy, 503 if unhealthy
+  - Includes all component statuses, latencies, timestamps
+
+- **GET /health/live** - Kubernetes liveness probe
+  - Returns 200 if service is running
+  - Returns 503 if not initialized
+
+- **GET /health/ready** - Kubernetes readiness probe
+  - Returns 200 if service is ready to accept traffic
+  - Returns 503 if any component unhealthy
+
+### Components
+
+1. **Temporal** - Cluster connectivity check
+   - Attempts to get a workflow execution
+   - Returns healthy if Temporal responds (even with NotFound)
+   - Returns unhealthy if unreachable
+
+### Features
+
+- Periodic health check caching (30s interval) to avoid excessive checks
+- JSON health reports with component status, latency, timestamp
+- Separate liveness and readiness checks for K8s probes
+- Graceful shutdown with health server cleanup
+
+## Implementation
+
+### Internal Package: `internal/health`
+
+#### `health.go`
+- `Status` type with constants: `StatusHealthy`, `StatusUnhealthy`, `StatusUnknown`
+- `ComponentHealth` struct for individual component status
+- `HealthReport` struct for complete health status
+- `Checker` interface for health checking
+- `Check()` method that performs comprehensive health check
+- `IsHealthy()` for quick boolean check
+- Caching mechanism to avoid repeated checks within interval
+
+#### `handler.go`
+- HTTP handler implementation
+- `RegisterRoutes()` to set up endpoints on a mux
+- Handlers for `/health`, `/health/live`, `/health/ready`
+- Proper HTTP status codes (200 for healthy, 503 for unhealthy)
+
+#### `health_test.go`
+- Unit tests for health checker
+- Tests for nil client, caching, JSON serialization
+- Tests for timestamp validation
+- 10/10 tests passing ✅
+
+### Integration
+
+**cmd/worker/main.go**
+- Health check server runs on port 8081
+- Runs in separate goroutine alongside worker
+- Graceful shutdown on SIGINT/SIGTERM
+- Waits for health server to shutdown before exiting
+
+**cmd/starter/main.go**
+- `--health` flag to run health check and exit
+- Outputs JSON health report
+- Returns non-zero exit code if unhealthy
+
+## Verification Criteria
+
+✅ **All criteria met:**
+
+1. **Health endpoints responsive**
+   - GET /health returns 200 with JSON report
+   - GET /health/live returns 200 if running
+   - GET /health/ready returns 503 if Temporal unavailable
+
+2. **Kubernetes integration**
+   - Can be used as livenessProbe target
+   - Can be used as readinessProbe target
+   - Port 8081 exposed for probes
+
+3. **Component checks**
+   - Temporal connectivity verified via GetWorkflow call
+   - Caching prevents excessive health checks
+   - Latency measured and reported
+
+4. **Graceful shutdown**
+   - Health server stops on SIGINT/SIGTERM
+   - Worker stops cleanly
+   - No hanging goroutines
+
+5. **CLI integration**
+   - `starter --health` command works
+   - Outputs JSON report
+   - Exits with appropriate code
+
+## Testing
+
+```bash
+# Unit tests
+go test -v ./internal/health
+# Result: PASS (10/10 tests)
+
+# Integration test (requires Temporal)
+# When Temporal unavailable:
+curl http://localhost:8081/health
+# Returns: 503 with status="unhealthy", components.temporal.error set
+
+# When Temporal available:
+curl http://localhost:8081/health
+# Returns: 200 with status="healthy"
+```
+
+## Kubernetes Configuration
+
+Example liveness probe:
+```yaml
+livenessProbe:
+  httpGet:
+    path: /health/live
+    port: 8081
+  initialDelaySeconds: 10
+  periodSeconds: 10
+```
+
+Example readiness probe:
+```yaml
+readinessProbe:
+  httpGet:
+    path: /health/ready
+    port: 8081
+  initialDelaySeconds: 5
+  periodSeconds: 5
+```
+
+## Files Changed
+
+- ✅ `internal/health/health.go` - Core health checker (106 lines)
+- ✅ `internal/health/handler.go` - HTTP endpoints (68 lines)
+- ✅ `internal/health/health_test.go` - Unit tests (119 lines)
+- ✅ `cmd/worker/main.go` - Worker integration
+- ✅ `cmd/starter/main.go` - Starter health check command
+- ✅ `tasks/board-T1.md` - Task board update
+
+## Dependencies
+
+- `go.temporal.io/sdk/client` - Already in go.mod
+- `net/http` - Standard library
+- `encoding/json` - Standard library
+- `github.com/stretchr/testify/assert` - Already in go.mod
+
+## Notes
+
+- Health check server runs on `:8081` (separate from main application)
+- Caching interval set to 30 seconds (configurable)
+- Temporal check uses GetWorkflow with timeout for quick response
+- Handler is reusable across different services
+
+## Next Steps (T1.7 → T1.1 → T1.2)
+
+1. **T1.7:** Immutable audit logging (track all decisions)
+2. **T1.2:** Structured logging + Prometheus metrics
+3. **T1.1:** Workflow error recovery & deadletter handling
