Issue: Optimize Points/Transaction Controller for Consistency and Readability

[akofficial10]

📋 Description

The current points controller (transactionController.js or similar) works perfectly but can be optimized for code clarity, consistency, and error handling without changing any logic.

✅ Expected Improvements

• Improve naming consistency (reci → recipient).
• Add missing console.error logs for debugging.
• Ensure consistent return statements in both success and error responses.
• Maintain full existing logic for awarding points and fetching history.

💡 Proposed Solution

Refactor both award and getHistory functions:

• Introduce consistent and descriptive variable names.
• Add unified and meaningful console error logs.
• Keep the same logic flow with early returns where possible.
• Preserve all API response formats and structures.
