The default express.json() limit is 100kb, which is typically insufficient for large context windows, code bases, or long multi-shot conversations in LLM applications. Furthermore, exceeding this limit throws a payload.too.large error, which drops to a generic 500 status rather than providing a structured client-side 413 code.

This patch:

  1. Increases the express.json limit to 10mb.
  2. Properly intercepts err.type === 'entity.too.large' and returns a 413 JSON response.
  3. Adds a comprehensive test asserting that large payloads receive the appropriate error code.

…oo large errors

- Increased `express.json({ limit: '10mb' })` to support large LLM context requests.
- Added explicit error handling in Express to return a `413 Payload Too Large` JSON response when the body parser throws `entity.too.large`, preventing it from dropping into the generic 500 handler.
- Added a robustness test to verify large payload handling.
