- ✅ Health check endpoints configured

### 3. **Infrastructure & Automation**
- ✅ Parallel processing system for efficient bulk packaging
- ✅ Status dashboard with real-time progress tracking
- ✅ Automated application type detection
- ✅ Container-based build environment (zero host pollution)
- ✅ Git-based version control and tracking

## 📦 Package Structure

Each application now includes:

```
app/
├── manifest.json     # Cloudron app metadata
├── Dockerfile       # Container build instructions
└── start.sh        # Application startup script
```

### Key Features:
- **Standardized HTTP Port**: 8080
- **Health Checks**: Configured for all apps
- **Security**: Non-root execution where possible
- **Metadata**: Complete Cloudron manifest compliance
- **Scalability**: Alpine Linux base for minimal footprint

## 🛠️ Technical Implementation

### Container-First Approach
