This is the final piece of the puzzle! Here is your Pull Request (PR) content, meticulously filled out based on the fix we just verified for Issue #94.
📋 Summary
This PR replaces unsafe .unwrap() calls with robust error handling during JSON deserialization in types.rs. By moving away from panicking on malformed input, we improve the overall stability and production-readiness of the message processing logic.

Closes #94
🧠 Context
The original implementation assumed that incoming JSON would always perfectly match the internal data structure. However, if an API client sends an unexpected type (e.g., an integer where a string is expected), the application would trigger a thread panic. This change ensures that such scenarios result in a descriptive error message rather than a crash.
🛠️ Changes
Graceful String Parsing: Replaced .as_str().unwrap() with .ok_or_else(), returning a custom serde deserialization error if the value is not a string.
Resilient Array Deserialization: Wrapped serde_json::from_value in a .map_err() block to provide specific context when array parsing fails.
Error Propagation: Integrated the ? operator to bubble up errors through the serde framework, ensuring they are caught by the higher-level request handlers.
🧪 How you Tested
Compilation: Verified that the changes compile successfully using cargo build.
Static Analysis: Ran cargo clippy to ensure the new error-handling logic follows Rust best practices.
Manual Validation: (Optional/Recommended) Sent a malformed JSON payload (e.g., {"content": 123}) to verify the application returns a parsing error instead of crashing.
