- Handle stderr warnings from apt-cache gracefully (common on Armbian)
- Catch FileNotFoundError if binary missing despite PATH fix
- Show actual backend error message in frontend instead of generic "Search failed"
- Add /api/packages/debug endpoint for troubleshooting apt-cache issues
- Add logging throughout for server-side diagnostics
