Frontend crash due to invalid citations
Describe the bug
The frontend crashed after receiving a response from the /custom endpoint. I was not able to obtain the response, however the crash occurred at this line, as citation was undefined:

The error most likely occurred because the response contained a citation that did not exist, i.e. [doc6], even though there were only 5 source documents.
The following was observed in the API logs:
Source document 6 not provided, skipping doc
Source document 7 not provided, skipping doc
Source document 8 not provided, skipping doc
Source document 9 not provided, skipping doc
Expected behavior
The frontend application should not crash. Errors should be caught and an handled gracefully, or an appropriate error is returned to the user.
