fix: prevent error message information disclosure + standardize error handling (TDD)
All checks were successful
Build & Deploy to Staging / Build & Deploy to Staging (push) Successful in 13m10s

Browse source 
Security & Consistency Fixes:
- Convert routes no longer leak internal error messages (err.message)
- Templates route no longer exposes error details via 'detail' field
- Admin cleanup endpoint no longer exposes error message
- Standardized QUEUE_FULL response: 429 → 503 (Service Unavailable)
- Added missing PDF_TIMEOUT handling: returns 504 Gateway Timeout
- Generic 500 errors now return 'PDF generation failed.' without internals

TDD Approach:
1. RED: Created error-responses.test.ts with 11 failing tests
2. GREEN: Fixed src/routes/convert.ts, templates.ts, and index.ts
3. Updated convert.test.ts to expect new correct status codes
4. All 541 tests pass

Before: 'PDF generation failed: Puppeteer crashed: SIGSEGV in Chrome'
After:  'PDF generation failed.' (internals logged, not exposed)

Closes security audit findings re: information disclosure
