Handle api workspace fetch error

[vdimarco]

Summary

This PR introduces a new /api/health endpoint to provide clear service status, including database connectivity, for health checks and monitoring. It also enhances the /api/workspaces GET endpoint with robust error handling to prevent unhandled 500 errors and improve diagnostic logging, addressing the reported internal server error. The original 500 error on /api/workspaces was likely due to an unhandled database connection issue (e.g., missing DATABASE_URL). These changes provide a dedicated health endpoint for better system observability and ensure that API errors are caught, logged, and return a consistent 500 response instead of crashing.
