How would you handle global error boundaries in Express or Node.js backend apps?

Implement a centralized error-handling middleware as the last middleware registered on the Express app. This middleware takes 4 arguments: (err, req, res, next). Inside, you log the error trace, determine status codes, and return structured JSON responses to prevent server crashes and client-side information exposure.
