💡 What: Replaced the direct asyncpg.connect() call in the /health API endpoint with get_connection_pool().

🎯 Why: The /health endpoint is typically polled frequently by orchestrators and load balancers. Creating a new, unpooled database connection on each request adds massive overhead through repeated TCP handshakes and database authentication processes, introducing latency and increasing the risk of exhausting DB connections under load.

📊 Impact: Significantly reduces the latency of the /health endpoint and drastically reduces load on the PostgreSQL server since connections are reused instead of being recreated from scratch.

🔬 Measurement: Verify by running performance tests on the /health endpoint (e.g., using wrk or artillery). You should see lower latency and fewer new DB connection logs. Run pytest to confirm health endpoint functions reliably return ok when passing.

Optimized the `/health` API endpoint by replacing the unpooled `asyncpg.connect()` with `get_connection_pool()`.
This avoids establishing a brand-new TCP connection, TLS handshake, and PostgreSQL authentication on every `/health` request, reducing latency and avoiding DB connection exhaustion under high polling frequencies.
