<context>
The `quotesdb` API is built with Axum + Tokio, targeting Cloudflare Workers via `workers-rs`. It serves JSON at `/api/*` endpoints and persists data to Cloudflare D1 (production) or a local SQLite file via Turso (development). Source lives in `src/bin/api/`.

Shared types and utilities are in `src/lib.rs` — code placed there must compile for both the host target and `wasm32-unknown-unknown`.

`GET /api/quotes/random` returns a single random quote from the database. This endpoint **must be registered before** `GET /api/quotes/:id` in the Axum router, or it will never be reached (Axum matches in registration order and ":id" would match the literal string "random").
</context>

<goal>
Implement the `GET /api/quotes/random` handler that selects a random row from the `quotes` table and returns it with its tags. Return 404 if the database is empty.
</goal>

<constraints>
- **Router ordering is critical** — document the ordering requirement in a comment in `main.rs`.
- Use `ORDER BY RANDOM() LIMIT 1` for SQLite random selection.
- Include the quote's tags in the response.
- Return `404 Not Found` with `{"error": "no quotes available"}` if the table is empty.
</constraints>

<skills>
Use `superpowers:test-driven-development` — write tests for: random quote returned (non-empty DB), 404 when DB is empty.
Use `superpowers:verification-before-completion` before closing.
</skills>

<validation>
Run in order from the `quotesdb/` directory:

```sh
cargo fmt
cargo check
cargo clippy
cargo test
```
