⚠️ API Authentication Issue

The blog database operations work perfectly. The 500 error was related to authentication handling in the API endpoint, not the actual blog functionality.

🔧 Root Cause

The issue occurs when the API endpoint cannot properly authenticate the user making the request. This happens because:

1. The `checkAdminAccess()` function works correctly
2. The database operations work correctly
3. The RLS policies are working correctly
4. The middleware authentication is working correctly

The problem is in the integration between external API calls and the authentication system.
