The event label was renamed from TNOK to TOK, but this branch still fires only when status != TOK (i.e. exactly when the proxy is NOT ok). The new label is therefore inverted relative to the guard and the surrounding semantics: proxy.health.TOK.<pid> will be recorded precisely for pings of unhealthy proxies, which will mislead anyone correlating these events/metrics with proxy health (and contradicts pxstatus, where TOK means "ok"). Either keep the original TNOK label, or — if the goal was to take over the removed TxRx branch that pinged healthy-but-idle proxies — the condition should be status == TOK rather than a label-only change.

Suggestion:

core.Gx("proxy.health.TOK."+pid, func() { p.Ping() })
core.Gx("proxy.health.TNOK."+pid, func() { p.Ping() })

Keep the non-TOK health key distinct.

This branch runs only when status != TOK, but the worker key now uses proxy.health.TOK. core.Gx passes this key to trackwork, so non-TOK health work can appear under the TOK key in diagnostics and tracking. Keep proxy.health.TNOK unless the monitoring contract intentionally changes.

Proposed key correction 
-		core.Gx("proxy.health.TOK."+pid, func() { p.Ping() })
+		core.Gx("proxy.health.TNOK."+pid, func() { p.Ping() })

Restore health-ping coalescing

proxyFor calls healthy after each successful lookup. For eligible non-TOK proxies, this branch starts one goroutine per call because core.Gx does not deduplicate its trackwork key. wgproxy.Ping calls via.Ping() before its gate, and its gate permits calls within the five-second interval. Repeated lookups can therefore create concurrent ping chains and repeated keepalives. Restore the per-proxy staleness or in-flight guard before core.Gx, and use the non-TOK worker label.

In `@intra/ipn/proxy.go` at line 779, Update the healthy path in proxyFor to
restore a per-proxy staleness or in-flight guard before invoking core.Gx,
preventing repeated lookups from starting concurrent ping chains; use the
non-TOK worker label for eligible proxies while preserving the existing TOK
behavior.
