Description
Problem
Exception handlers are defined in exception_handlers.py but are not imported in main.py, so they are not being registered with the application.
Error handling also needs to be standardized:
- Web requests should render an HTML error page instead of returning JSON.
- Errors should use a consistent
HTTPExceptionformat.
Proposed Changes
-
Register the exception handlers in
main.py. -
Handle:
StarletteHTTPException- HTTP errors (400, 401, 403, 404, etc.)RequestValidationError- validation errors (422)Exception- unexpected errors (500)
-
Use a consistent
HTTPExceptionstructure with the appropriate status code and error message. -
Render
error.htmlfor web requests. -
Add
templates/error.htmlextending_layout.html.
Expected Behavior
- Errors are handled consistently across the application.
- Web errors render a consistent HTML error page.
- API errors return the appropriate HTTP error response.

Research direction
Start by reading exception_handlers.py and main.py to trace the existing handlers and application setup. Add the error template at templates/error.html, extending _layout.html, and verify the listed HTTP, validation, and unexpected errors produce HTML for web requests and appropriate responses for API requests.
