Subject: [PATCH] fix nginx static assets under BASE_PATH sub-path

Regex cache-header locations (~* \.(css|js)$) used root directive,
which caused 404s when BASE_PATH is set (e.g., /test/css/app.css
looked for /usr/share/nginx/html/test/css/app.css). Moved regex
locations inside the alias block so they inherit the path stripping.
Also added healthz/ prefix match for liveness/readiness probes.

Tested with BASE_PATH=/test: health, login, CSS, JS all return 200.
