Changes: 1. Add SIGCHLD handler to reap terminated child processes (zombies) 2. Replace curl healthcheck with Python requests to reduce process spawning 3. Update healthcheck to use /api/health endpoint Technical details: - SIGCHLD handler uses os.waitpid(-1, os.WNOHANG) pattern - Python healthcheck reduces spawning of curl processes every 30s - Proper exception handling for ChildProcessError and OSError
