🎯 What: The POST and PATCH endpoints for creating and updating posts lacked input validation.
⚠️ Risk: Without validation, malicious actors could send extremely long strings or invalid data types, potentially causing denial of service, memory exhaustion, or database errors/bloat.
🛡️ Solution: Added explicit checks for field types and string lengths (e.g. title max 255 chars, description max 5000 chars). It returns an HTTP 400 if validation fails, protecting the database layer from malformed data.

This commit adds input validation for the title, description, contact, industry, education, keywords, and expiration_date fields in both the POST and PATCH endpoints for the post resource.

By explicitly checking string lengths, types, and required formats, this change mitigates denial of service (DoS) risks and database inconsistencies caused by extremely large payloads or improperly typed data. Tests were also updated to verify that the API returns a 400 Bad Request error when invalid data is provided.
