Summary
Aspire reports a generated Fresh application as Healthy while every HTTP request to it returns 500. The health probe checks the process and its listening port, not whether the app can actually render.
Reproduction steps
aspire wait signal-garden --non-interactive # -> Resource 'signal-garden' is healthy
curl -i http://localhost:<port>/ # -> 500 Internal Server Error
Expected behavior
A resource reported healthy serves its home page.
Actual behavior
aspire wait returns healthy; the first request fails during SSR (in this case on the jsr: specifier problem filed separately). Because the probe is satisfied by a listening socket, a completely non-functional application looks green on the dashboard.
Environment
0.0.1-beta.11, Aspire 13.4.6.
Suggested direction
Give the generated app an HTTP health probe that renders a minimal SSR route, rather than a process/port check. "Healthy and returning 500" is the worst available combination: it sends the developer looking anywhere except at the app.
