Root cause: store List* methods used 'var out []T' which stays nil on empty
result sets and serializes to JSON null; the SPA then crashed on .length/.map
(e.g. endpoints.length on the Tasks page right after deploy). Return []T{}
at the source; coerce null->[] on the frontend load sites as defense-in-depth.
Regression test asserts List* are non-nil when empty.
