Clears the still-live findings from #172 (verified against main; #2/#4/#7 and the
auth/search/Trakt tail were already deliberate-documented or fixed since 2026-07-07).
- Null/empty Name → 500 (10 create/replace handlers). Block/Template/DecoTemplate/Deco
Create+Replace/Update + UpdateFFmpegProfile did `request.Name.Length > 50` on a
client-nullable string → unhandled NullReferenceException → HTTP 500 (no global
exception filter). Now `string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(request.Name) || .Length > 50` →
422; also rejects empty/whitespace names, matching the group-create handlers'
NotEmpty behavior. CreatePlaylist coalesces null→"" at the DTO so it was an
empty-name persist, not a 500; guarded the same way.
- ReplaceTemplateItems overlap validation iterated with an `item == otherItem`
record value-equality skip, so two exact-duplicate items were value-equal and
bypassed the intersection check (both persisted). Now index-based (i != j) so
duplicates register as a self-intersection and are rejected 422.
- Trimmed the unreachable 404 ProducesResponseType from POST /api/blocks/groups and
POST /api/templates/groups (a create has no parent lookup that can 404); v1.json
regenerated.
- Regression tests: all 10 name-guard paths + the duplicate-items path (19 cases).
- Docs: decisions.md entry + api-conventions.md §3b null-safe-validation bullet.

POST /api/blocks with a nonexistent blockGroupId returned an
unhandled DbUpdateException (HTTP 500) because CreateBlockHandler
never checked the referenced block group before inserting, letting
the SQLite FK constraint raise. Add a BaseError validation (422),
matching the "does not exist" precedent already used elsewhere.
Found via live E2E testing.
