Sentry error tracking wired up (DSN-gated)

[UPDATE] Unhandled exceptions used to only land in the local JSON app log. They now also ship to Sentry once you paste a DSN into .env.

How to turn it on

Create a project at https://sentry.io, copy the DSN.
Set SENTRY_DSN in .env (also new: SENTRY_TRACES_SAMPLE_RATE, default 0).
Reload PHP-FPM. Next unhandled exception flows to both the JSON log and Sentry.

Safety

SENTRY_DSN unset = exact prior behavior, no external calls.
If Sentry is unreachable, the call is swallowed in try/catch. The 500 page still renders; the local log still records.
send_default_pii = false so IPs and session-linked fields are stripped before transmission.

Not wired (yet)

User context tagging, performance tracing beyond the sample rate, custom breadcrumbs. Enable SENTRY_TRACES_SAMPLE_RATE later if you want span-level performance data.
