Description

Problem

Unexpected exceptions from Redis, audio processing, or upstream services can currently produce inconsistent responses.

Acceptance criteria

  • Add controlled handlers for unexpected HTTP-path failures.
  • Return a stable, secret-safe error format.

Research direction

Start by locating the FastAPI application entry point and any existing exception or logging configuration. Trace how HTTP-path failures from Redis, audio processing, and upstream services are currently handled. Done means unexpected failures return one stable secret-safe format, diagnostic details are logged server-side, and stack traces are not exposed to clients.
