anti ef4179ea1f feat(api): opaque 500 handler + error_id correlation for unhandled exceptions
Registers a generic @app.exception_handler(Exception) that catches anything
uncaught in route handlers / dependencies. Prod response is opaque:
{detail: 'Internal Server Error', error_id: <uuid4 hex>}. Dev mode
(DECNET_DEVELOPER=True) adds exception_type and traceback fields so
failures are debuggable without tailing server logs.

The error_id is logged alongside the full traceback server-side, letting
operators correlate a user's 500 report with the exact exception via
`grep <error_id> /var/log/decnet.log`.

FastAPI's own HTTPException routing and the existing
RequestValidationError / ValidationError / RateLimitExceeded handlers
still take precedence — this handler only fires on genuinely-uncaught
exceptions.

Flips threat model F1/I 'traceback / stack trace leakage' from ? to M
and logs a follow-up checklist entry for 4 detail=str(e) sites in the
fleet deploy router (admin-gated, different threat class, separate
audit).
