Problem

Worker startup can block Claude Code entirely when the worker isn't ready within 15 seconds. The health check uses /api/readiness which causes timeout during background initialization.

Symptoms

Claude Code hangs on startup
15-second delay before Claude becomes usable
Health check timeout errors

Expected Behavior

Worker initialization should be non-blocking
Claude Code should start immediately
Worker can initialize in background

Possible Solutions

Async worker initialization
Separate readiness from liveness checks
Reduce health check timeout
Allow Claude Code to proceed without worker being fully ready
