Why this helps
During an incident, it can take extra steps to confirm whether the changelog service is reachable before checking for relevant updates.
- Check Beamer API responsiveness as part of an incident handoff.
- Get a concise result in the Notis run report.
- Avoid assuming that a connectivity check confirms the presence of relevant updates.

- 3Tell Notis to ping Beamer when the external incident request arrives and summarize the response.
