    ).then(r => r.json());

    res.json({
      status: account.plan_searches_left > 0 ? 'healthy' : 'degraded',
      serpapi: {
        plan: account.plan_name,
        remaining: account.plan_searches_left,
        used: account.this_month_usage,
      },
    });
  } catch {
    res.status(503).json({ status: 'unhealthy', serpapi: { error: 'unreachable' } });
  }
