Week 2 Capstone - The Service That Won't Stay Up
taskflow-agent keeps crash-looping under systemd. Dig through the unit and journal, then make the service stay up and healthy.
Puzzle Overview
The Taskflow agent is supposed to expose a tiny health endpoint on this host, but its systemd unit never stays active. journalctl shows repeated start failures. Something about how the unit is configured is wrong, and the process refuses to run without the configuration it expects.
Your job: diagnose why taskflow-agent.service will not stay up, fix the configuration, and leave the service active with a healthy HTTP endpoint.
