### 📄 Description
## Summary
- Replace all bare `except:` clauses with `except Exception:` across the backend codebase
- Bare `except:` catches `BaseException`, including `SystemExit` and `KeyboardInterrupt`, which prevents clean shutdown and Ctrl+C signal handling
- This change ensures system signals propagate correctly while still catching all actual errors

## Test plan
