- Register GET /api/readyz after /api/health in src/index.ts (before authMiddleware)
- Runs `getDb().select({id: staff.id}).from(staff).limit(1)` inside try/catch
- Success → 200 {"status":"ready"}; failure → 503 {"status":"degraded","check":"db"}
- Raw driver error is console.error'd but never leaked to the response body
- /health and /api/health are unchanged (K8s probes remain DB-less per CTO decision)
- New unit tests: mock getDb to resolve → assert 200/ready; throw → assert 503/degraded
- Updated UAT_PLAYBOOK.md §4.0 with TC-API-0.2 and TC-API-0.3
