🚨 Severity: MEDIUM
💡 Vulnerability: API routes were leaking detailed stack traces, internal errors (err.message), and full upstream service response bodies back to the client in HTTP 500/502 responses.
🎯 Impact: Detailed error messages can inadvertently expose sensitive information such as server configurations, framework details, or upstream credentials to attackers. Since the src/pages/api/ serverless functions act as proxies to Cloudflare AI and Google AI Studio, they were prime targets for extracting sensitive downstream interactions.
🔧 Fix: Implemented the "fail securely" principle by ensuring API catch blocks or failure conditions log detailed error contexts server-side (using console.error) but return strictly generic, non-descriptive JSON error messages to the client.
Verification: Verified by checking git diff of src/pages/api/, ensuring .jules/sentinel.md journal entry was correctly created, and running the pnpm run check pipeline to confirm no regressions.

- Replaced detailed upstream service errors and internal stack traces with generic "Internal server error" messages in `src/pages/api/*` routes.
- Maintained server-side logging (`console.error`) of the exact details for observability.
- Created security journal entry recording the secure API proxy error handling pattern.
