Bug: json.Unmarshal errors are silently discarded in two handlers:

  1. List (line 70, 89): If json.Unmarshal fails on configJSON or allowedJSON, the variables remain zero-valued (nil map, nil slice). The channel entry is returned with config: null and allowed_users: null to the client — silent data loss.

  2. HandleWebhook (line 499, 500): Same issue. If the DB row has corrupt JSONB data, row.Config is nil. DecryptSensitiveFields(nil) is safe, but row.Config["webhook_secret"] silently returns empty, causing webhook secret validation to fail with no diagnostic.

Fix: check err != nil, log it, fall back to map[string]interface{}{} / []string{}.

Priority: Low (DB JSONB is only written via the same Marshal path, so corruption is rare) but still worth fixing for robustness.

Fixed in PR #1120 (sre/channels-unmarshal-errors). Added json.Unmarshal error checks with fallbacks in both List and Webhook handlers.
