🎯 What: The application was directly parsing LLM output via JSON.parse without explicitly handling syntax errors.
⚠️ Risk: If the LLM generates invalid JSON, JSON.parse throws an error. Previously, this error fell into a generic catch block that returned the raw error.message to the client. This could lead to a denial of service (unhandled exceptions in some contexts) or exposure of sensitive stack trace/parser information.
🛡️ Solution: Wrapped JSON.parse in a specific try/catch block. If parsing fails, the API now logs the error internally and returns a sanitized, generic 500 error message (Invalid JSON response from LLM) to the client. Additionally, the outer catch block was updated to use error: unknown instead of any, improving TypeScript safety and complying with project conventions.

Wrapped JSON.parse in a try-catch block to prevent unhandled exceptions and potential exposure of sensitive parser error strings. Also refactored the generic catch block to use `unknown` instead of `any` for better type safety.
