Description

Describe the enhancement
When using automation to provision runners (Pulumi/Terraform/Puppet/Ansible), we need a way to ensure the VM was provisioned correctly. For example, when running using GCP Instance Group, we can provide health check endpoint. GCP will start a new instance and kill the old one only if this endpoint return healthy response.

I would like to have a dummy endpoint, that return 200 if the runner has started correctly. This is a pretty standard pattern :)

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the runner's existing HTTP or service entry point and checking how startup health is represented. Done means a simple health-check endpoint returns HTTP 200 only when the runner has started correctly and can be used by provisioning automation.
