Description

(This is a stub issue raised during a meeting)

Lightning's healthcheck should monitor whether it has at least one (?) worker instance connected to the queue socket.

if there is no worker connected, Lightning should report that it is down (probably?)

This would give us a more accurate uptime metric

Research direction

Start by locating Lightning's healthcheck entry point and the worker queue socket handling. Clarify whether one connected worker is required and what response should indicate failure, then define tests for connected and workerless states. Done means the healthcheck reports the agreed worker availability and the uptime metric reflects it.
