 - `POST /` — create a pad from request body (curl-friendly, see *Usage*)
 - `GET /{pad_id}/raw` — raw text (auth via `?pw=…` for protected pads)
 - `GET /system/info` — instance configuration page
+- `GET /health` — JSON health check (200 `ok` / 503 `degraded`)
 - WebSocket `/ws/{pad_id}` — live collaboration
