Subject: [PATCH] fix(backend): log swallowed spotify search errors (#1285)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

fetchPopularArtists' per-query catch was bare — transient Spotify
search failures were invisible. Log via debugLog with the query and
error before continuing; loop semantics unchanged.
