PathCourse Health (PCH) runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 84 installs a week from pypi. Last commit 10 May 2026.
Cheaper LLM inference, USDC agent payments via x402, agent identity / reputation lookup.
Today is the operative word: we check PathCourse Health (PCH) every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.
