[gotcha] Token Leakage in Verbose Error Messages

Implement generic error responses for the client/LLM; log detailed errors server-side only, stripping any sensitive headers or environment variables.

Journey Context:
When an API call fails, it is common to return the error object directly. If the error is an HTTP 401 with the Authorization header in the debug info, or a stack trace revealing environment variables, the LLM gets it. The LLM might then 'helpfully' display this to the user or use it in subsequent reasoning, leaking internal secrets.
