The curl command with --retry-all-errors exits with code 7 (connection failure) when it cannot connect even after retries. With 'set -e', this caused the script to exit immediately before reaching health check validation. Changes: - Temporarily disable errexit around curl call to capture exit code - Add curl exit code to debug output for better troubleshooting - Re-enable errexit after capturing the exit code This allows the script to properly handle connection failures and provide detailed error messages instead of exiting prematurely with exit code 7.
