 ### Fixed
 
-- `/health`'s five dependency probes (neo4j, qdrant, wikijs, searxng, ollama)
-  now run concurrently under `asyncio.gather`, each bounded at 2s via
-  `asyncio.wait_for`, instead of serially with no bound on neo4j or qdrant.
-  A hung (not failing) dependency previously blocked the whole chain past the
-  container healthcheck's 10s timeout, marking the container unhealthy for a
-  reason unrelated to its own liveness. A probe that times out now reports
-  that service unhealthy, the same as one that raises; the others are
-  unaffected.
-- The three remaining probes in `check_service_health()` (paperless,
-  system_settings, scheduler — computed internally but not currently read by
-  `/health`) are now bounded and joined into the same `asyncio.gather` as the
-  five above, rather than running serially and unbounded after it. paperless
-  and system_settings keep their three-state result (`None` not configured,
-  `False` configured but unhealthy/timed out, `True` healthy) — an
-  unconfigured service's probe is never run, so "not configured" cannot be
-  collapsed into "unhealthy".
+- `/health` no longer reports the whole service unhealthy because one
+  dependency is merely slow. Its five probes (neo4j, qdrant, wikijs, searxng,
+  ollama) previously ran one after another with no timeout on neo4j or
+  qdrant, so a single hung dependency could block the response past the
+  container healthcheck's 10s timeout and get the container marked
+  unhealthy for a reason unrelated to its own liveness. Each probe is now
+  bounded at 2s and all five run concurrently, so one hanging dependency is
+  reported unhealthy on its own without holding up the others or the
+  response.
+- Internal-only: the three probes `check_service_health()` also computes
+  (paperless, system_settings, scheduler) received the same bounding and
+  concurrency, for consistency and because they carried the identical
+  unbounded-hang risk internally. This has no visible effect today — none
+  of the three is currently returned by `/health` — but protects a future
+  caller that does read them.
