Lukas 3d1a6f5538 Implement frontend and backend observability alignment
Align frontend and backend error observability with correlation IDs and
structured telemetry for distributed tracing across systems.

Backend changes:
- Add CorrelationIdMiddleware to generate/extract correlation IDs
- Include correlation_id in all ErrorResponse objects
- Store correlation ID in structlog contextvars for automatic inclusion in logs
- Add correlation ID to response headers (X-Correlation-ID)

Frontend changes:
- API client automatically generates session-scoped UUID4 and includes
  X-Correlation-ID header in all requests
- Extract correlation ID from API error responses
- Update error handlers to use telemetry with correlation IDs
- Add telemetry logging to ErrorBoundary, PageErrorBoundary, SectionErrorBoundary
- Implement redaction utilities for privacy-safe logging of sensitive data

Documentation:
- Add observability guidelines to Web-Development.md
  * Correlation ID usage patterns
  * Privacy & security best practices
  * Telemetry event structure
  * Redaction utilities for sensitive data
- Add distributed tracing architecture section to Architecture.md
  * Correlation ID flow across frontend/backend
  * Example troubleshooting scenario
  * Implementation details for future enhancements

Testing:
- Add comprehensive tests for correlation middleware
- Update error boundary tests to verify telemetry integration
- Verify TypeScript and ESLint pass with no warnings

Fixes: Issue #40 - Frontend and backend observability are not aligned

40) Frontend and backend observability are not aligned

  • Where found:
  • Why this is needed:
    • Backend uses structured logging while frontend error telemetry is mostly local and ad-hoc.
  • Goal:
    • Define unified error telemetry and correlation approach.
  • What to do:
    • Introduce frontend error reporting pipeline and request correlation IDs.
  • Possible traps and issues:
    • PII/sensitive payload leakage risk in client-side telemetry.
  • Docs changes needed:
    • Add observability and privacy-safe logging guidelines.
  • Doc references:
