Claude Code: Fix startup crash with lazy imports and simplified root route

- Move FastAPI imports inside get_app() function to avoid blocking init
- Simplify root route to return {"status": "alive"}
- Add explicit stdout logging with flush=True
- Remove error_handlers dependency to avoid import failures
