Description
## Summary
**Severity:** P2 — Silent Failure
**Phase:** Phase 4 Remediation (API Contract Hardening)
**Audit Reference:** SPIN Agent Product Integrity Report, Phase 1
## Finding
The Azure assessment endpoint accepts null or empty input and returns HTTP 200 without performing any assessment work. The caller receives a success response with no indication that nothing happened.
## Impact
- Automated pipelines and integrations cannot detect a no-op assessment call
- Monitoring/ConMon workflows may log a 'completed' assessment that produced nothing
- No client-side visibility into why results are empty
## Acceptance Criteria
- [ ] Return HTTP 400 or 422 when Azure assessment input is null or missing required fields
- [ ] Error response includes a machine-readable error code and human-readable message
- [ ] Unit test: assert 400 returned on null input
- [ ] No regression on valid assessment calls

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start at the Azure assessment endpoint and trace how null, empty, or missing-field input is handled. Add the requested validation and error response, then create or update a unit test asserting a 400 response while confirming valid assessment calls remain unaffected.
