🐛(y-provider) increase JSON size limits for transcription conversion

Problem: - Default Express JSON parser limit (100kb) is insufficient for larger transcription files - 2-hour audio transcriptions slightly exceed the 100kb limit, causing request failures Solution: - Implemented custom middleware to apply different JSON parser configurations based on route - Applied 500kb limit specifically for transcription conversion endpoints - Maintained default limits for all other routes to preserve security Technical notes: - Could not find a built-in Express solution to specify parser config per route - Custom middleware conditionally applies the appropriate parser configuration
