A different question from /health, and it is worth keeping them apart. A probe is asked by a
platform that cannot read and only needs a verdict; this is asked by a person mid-investigation, and
the answer is a fact. Is the deploy live yet. Is that canary the new build. Why does production
behave differently.
platform earns its place because a single artefact can carry several adapters, each claiming the
runtime it detects, so which one won is not knowable from the outside.
The release is never read from the environment here: it comes from the blueprint, which is where an
application already puts what it knows about itself. State it once, from wherever you know it.
Which build is answering, and on which adapter.
