Subject: [PATCH] fix: handle non-JSON-serializable objects in
 TogetherException repr

Add `default=str` to `json.dumps()` in `TogetherException.__repr__()` so
that non-serializable objects (like aiohttp's CIMultiDictProxy headers)
fall back to their string representation instead of raising TypeError.

Fixes #108
