Fix Share-Feedback Tool 500 Error

What & Why

The "Share Your Feedback" widget (the orange button used by coordinators and athletes to file bug reports / suggestions from any page) fails for every user with a 500 "Failed to submit feedback" error. Production logs confirm the cause: the request handler calls , but that function is never imported into the file that defines the route, so it throws on every submission. No feedback is reaching the system right now — Charlie's bug report and any others sent today were dropped.

Done looks like

A coordinator (or athlete) opens the feedback widget, fills in title/description, picks a category, clicks Submit, and sees the success toast ("Thank you for your feedback!" or the filtered-content variant).
The new submission appears in the SuperAdmin suggestions list with the right submitter name, role, category, and page context.
No more entries in the deployment logs after the fix is deployed.
Submitting flagged content still works (sanitized) and is marked .

Out of scope

Redesigning the feedback widget UI.
Reworking suggestion moderation, replies, or the SuperAdmin suggestions dashboard.
Backfilling Charlie's lost submission (he can resend once the fix is live).
Changing the role-detection logic that currently defaults non-superadmin submitters without a to .

Steps

1. Import the missing validator — In the routes file that defines , extend the existing import so is in scope alongside . While there, sanity-check that no other handler in the same file references a content-filter export that isn't imported. 2. Manual verification in dev — Restart the app, log in as a coordinator, open the feedback widget from a non-league page (e.g. a profile page), submit a normal Bug Report, and confirm the success toast plus a new row visible to a SuperAdmin. Repeat with an obviously inappropriate string to confirm the sanitized-submission path also returns 200.
