+## 🎓 Implementation Details
+
+### Endpoint Details
+- **Route:** `GET /health`
+- **Port:** 3000 (default)
+- **Full URL:** `http://localhost:3000/health`
+- **Authentication:** None (public endpoint)
+- **Response Format:** JSON
+- **HTTP Status:** 200 OK
+
+### Response Schema
+```typescript
+{
+  status: string;        // Always "ok"
+  timestamp: string;     // ISO 8601 UTC timestamp
+}
+```
+
+### Example Response
+```json
+{
+  "status": "ok",
+  "timestamp": "2026-04-27T14:23:45.123Z"
+}
+```

+
+## 🔍 Step-by-Step Testing Process
+
+### Phase 1: Verify Implementation (No setup required)
+```bash
+./validate-health-check.sh
+```
+**Time:** 30 seconds
+**Result:** 7/7 checks pass
+
+### Phase 2: Unit Tests
+```bash
+cd backend
+npm install
+npm test -- app.controller.spec.ts
+```
+**Time:** 2-3 minutes
+**Result:** 2/2 tests pass
+
+### Phase 3: Runtime Testing
+```bash
+npm run start:dev
+# In another terminal:
+curl http://localhost:3000/health
+```
+**Time:** 5 minutes
+**Result:** JSON response with 200 OK
+
+### Phase 4: Advanced Testing (Optional)
+- Test with different authentication headers
