await on external call without try/catch

What it is

An await on a network call, a database query, or another external dependency sits outside any try/catch.

Why it matters

External calls fail routinely — timeouts, resets, 500s from someone else's deploy. Without handling, a normal upstream blip becomes an unhandled exception and a 500 for the user.

How to fix it

Wrap the call and decide what failure means here: retry it, fall back to a cached value, or return a clear error. The decision belongs at the call site, where you know what the caller can tolerate.
