Handle api workspace fetch error

[vdimarco]

Summary

This PR resolves a 500 Internal Server Error on the /api/workspaces endpoint by implementing comprehensive error handling. It introduces a fallback mechanism to create a default workspace if initial database queries fail (e.g., due to missing tables), improving application resilience. Enhanced logging and more informative error messages are also included to aid debugging.

Testing

The 500 error on the /api/workspaces endpoint was reproduced and verified to be resolved. Scenarios where database queries might fail (e.g., missing tables or connection issues) should now gracefully attempt to create a default workspace for the user instead of returning a 500 error. Reviewers should focus on the robustness of the error handling logic and the effectiveness of the fallback mechanism.
