+#
+# This script is useful for incident triage, routine maintenance, and
+# collecting baseline information before deployments or infrastructure changes.
+#
+# Usage:
+#   bash system_health_report.sh
+#   bash system_health_report.sh --output /tmp/health-report.txt
+#   bash system_health_report.sh --service nginx --service docker
+#
+# Options:
+#   --output FILE       Write the report to FILE instead of stdout.
+#   --service NAME     Include systemd status for a service. Can be repeated.
+#   --help             Show this help message.
