Summary
This issue consolidates the investigation and fix for the HTTP 404 response on
GET /healththrough the Traefik IngressRoute atgitea-mobile.testing.leeworks.dev. This is a P1 blocker for all post-deployment verification work.The
/healthroute IS registered ininternal/handlers/handlers.goat line 34:mux.HandleFunc("GET /health", h.Health). The health handler returns 200 OK. The 404 is therefore coming from the routing layer, not the app.Likely root causes to investigate
/healthbefore it reaches the app. The health endpoint must be exempt from auth (closed issue #184 confirms/healthdoes not require a token, but the IngressRoute middleware may still block it)./healthcorrectly.kubectl get pods -n gitea-mobileto confirm.What to do

This issue supersedes and can close #169 once resolved. It unblocks #158, #165, #167, #173, #175.
Requires human access to check pod state and potentially update cluster manifests.
Sprint planning update (2026-04-20): The current
ingressroute.yamlin the Talos repo only uses thesecurity-headersmiddleware (from thetraefiknamespace) — the Authentik middleware is NOT present. This eliminates the "auth middleware intercepts /health" theory.The 404 may be from the
security-headersmiddleware rejecting the probe, from the pod not being Running (blocked on #220/#221 template path bug causing crash-loop), or from the pod not having been pushed yet.Recommended next step: Resolve #220 (go:embed templates) first — if the pod crashes on startup due to missing template files, all health checks will fail. Once the pod is stable, re-test the health endpoint.
Repo Manager triage: This issue is labeled
needs-humanand requires kubectl access to diagnose pod state and IngressRoute configuration. Assigning toAI-Engineerfor initial investigation, but resolution likely requires human operator involvement for cluster manifest changes in the Talos repo.This is a P1 blocker that unblocks issues #158, #165, #167, #173, #175. Delegating to @devops for investigation.
Sprint planning investigation: Confirmed that the IngressRoute in
leeworks-agents/Talosattesting1/first-cluster/apps/gitea-mobile/ingressroute.yamlonly hassecurity-headersmiddleware (no Authentik middleware). So the 404 is NOT caused by Authentik intercepting/health. Most likely root causes are:Host(\gitea-mobile.testing.leeworks.dev`)without a path matcher should match all paths including/health— verify viakubectl exec` directly on the pod.Action needed: human must check
