Problem

23 except Exception handlers silently swallow errors without logging. This makes debugging production issues extremely difficult.

Affected files

timmy/loop_qa.py — 6 instances (lines 99, 131, 153, 181, 216, 326)
timmy/backends.py — 2 instances (lines 262, 428)
timmy/tools_delegation/init.py — 1 instance (line 141)
timmy/tools_intro/init.py — 3 instances (lines 124, 291, 303, 408)
dashboard/middleware/request_logging.py — 1 instance (line 93)
dashboard/routes/health.py — 1 instance (line 150)
dashboard/routes/grok.py — 2 instances (lines 137, 195)
dashboard/routes/voice.py — 1 instance (line 61)
dashboard/routes/db_explorer.py — 2 instances (lines 77, 85)
infrastructure/error_capture.py — 1 instance (line 11)

Fix

Add logger.exception() or logger.error(..., exc_info=True) to each handler. Pattern:

except Exception:
    logger.exception("Description of what failed")
    return {"error": ...}

Scope

Can be done file-by-file. Each file is independent. Good candidate for batch delegation.

Instructions for Kimi

Add logger.exception() or logger.error() calls to all 23 silent except Exception handlers listed in the issue body.

Rules:

  1. Do NOT change control flow — just add logging
  2. Use the module's existing logger (every file already has logger = logging.getLogger(__name__))
  3. Pattern: except Exception: pass → except Exception: logger.exception("<descriptive message>")
  4. For handlers that already have a pass or continue, add the logger call BEFORE the pass/continue
  5. Run tox -e unit to verify no test regressions
