leex279 98b798173e feat: Implement comprehensive OpenAI error handling for Issue #362
Replace silent failures with clear, actionable error messages to eliminate
90-minute debugging sessions when OpenAI API quota is exhausted.

## Backend Enhancements
- Add error sanitization preventing sensitive data exposure (API keys, URLs, tokens)
- Add upfront API key validation before expensive operations (crawl, upload, refresh)
- Implement fail-fast pattern in RAG service (no more empty results for API failures)
- Add specific error handling for quota, rate limit, auth, and API errors
- Add EmbeddingAuthenticationError exception with masked key prefix support

## Frontend Enhancements
- Create enhanced error utilities with OpenAI-specific parsing
- Build TanStack Query compatible API wrapper preserving ETag caching
- Update knowledge service to use enhanced error handling
- Enhance TanStack Query hooks with user-friendly error messages

## Security Features
- Comprehensive regex sanitization (8 patterns) with ReDoS protection
- Input validation and circular reference detection
- Generic fallback messages for sensitive keywords
- Bounded quantifiers to prevent regex DoS attacks

## User Experience
- Clear error messages: "OpenAI API quota exhausted"
- Actionable guidance: "Check your OpenAI billing dashboard and add credits"
- Immediate error visibility (no more silent failures)
- Appropriate error severity styling

## Architecture Compatibility
- Full TanStack Query integration maintained
- ETag caching and optimistic updates preserved
- No performance regression (all existing tests pass)
- Compatible with existing knowledge base architecture

Resolves #362: Users no longer experience mysterious empty RAG results
that require extensive debugging to identify OpenAI quota issues.
