Research direction

Start with the linked lines in health/record.go, health/core.go, and pkg/event/stream_consumer.go, tracing the locking and channel lifecycle around each reported access. Done means the reported data race, unsynchronized LastStatus copies, and writes to msgChan after closure are addressed without introducing new concurrency failures.
