fix(backend): route every async handler through the error middleware (#59)

Express 4 does not forward a rejected promise from an async handler, so an unwrapped async route never responds at all — the request hangs until the client gives up, nothing reaches the error middleware, and monitoring sees an open connection rather than a 500. That silence is the shape of the 2026-08-17 incident, where an unhandled rejection left every item query hanging and the storefront rendered it as an empty shop. `asyncRoute` was written in response, but it was only applied to some routes: 30 handlers added afterwards were still bare, including register, login, the whole cart, and PayPal checkout.

Wraps all 30, plus two the issue's inventory missed. `attachCustomer` is a bare async middleware mounted globally in app.ts, so a rejection in its session lookup would hang every request in the application — including the 25 handlers that were already wrapped correctly, which meant the guarantee did not actually hold anywhere. The PayPal webhook registers on a second router named `webhookRouter`, so an audit grepping for `router.` walked straight past it.

Adds a unit test that scans the route sources and fails on any registration whose handler is not wrapped. A convention already half-forgotten once will be forgotten again, and enforcement is what the issue asked for; ESLint would be the better home for it but there is no ESLint in this repo yet (#60). The test walks parens rather than lines, so it also catches a handler whose `async` sits on its own line, and it matches any `*Router` name rather than just `router` — the two ways the existing bare handlers escaped notice. It is deleted along with `asyncRoute` if the project moves to Express 5, which forwards rejections natively.

No behaviour changes on the success path; the failure path turns a hung request into a logged 500.

Closes #59
