fix: improve health check validation with retries and diagnostics

- Add retry logic (up to 15 attempts over 30 seconds)
- Add comprehensive diagnostics on failure
- Test endpoint from inside container to isolate networking issues
- Show recent logs if health check fails
- Better error messages for troubleshooting
