Step 5: Centralized Error Catching

5. Centralized Error Catching

Configure global exception handlers capturing system failures.

Detailed Implementation Steps:

Write error catching middleware. Register it as the last middleware in your server flow.

Ensure the middleware logs the stack trace and returns a 500 Internal Server Error status with a JSON payload.

Verification Checklist:

1. Simulate a system failure and confirm the server returns a clean error payload rather than crashing.
