Fix backend CI test failure by breaking api/storage service init cycle

[Copilot]

The Tests (backend + contract) workflow was failing in the backend Jest phase with ReferenceError: Cannot access 'hipaaComplianceService' before initialization. The failure was caused by a circular module initialization chain across server services.

• Root cause eliminated: circular service initialization

  • Removed eager secureStorageService import from server/services/apiService.js.
  • Switched handleFileUpload to lazy-load secureStorageService at call time, avoiding module-load-time recursion:
    • apiService -> secureStorageService -> hipaaComplianceService -> apiService.

• Import behavior hardened for runtime stability

  • Added a cached module import promise so repeated uploads reuse the same load path.
  • Added failure recovery: if dynamic import fails, cached promise is reset so subsequent calls can retry instead of being stuck in a rejected state.

• Code shape (representative snippet)

let secureStorageServicePromise;

if (!secureStorageServicePromise) {
  secureStorageServicePromise = import("./secureStorageService.js")
    .then(({ default: service }) => service)
    .catch((error) => {
      secureStorageServicePromise = null;
      throw error;
    });
}
const secureStorageService = await secureStorageServicePromise;
