Unused ts-node devDependency is also likely incompatible with typescript@^7.

ts-node is listed but no script uses it (tsx handles execution). Beyond being dead weight, TypeScript 7.0 GA ships without a stable programmatic compiler API — that's only planned for 7.1 — so tools that rely on the old API (including ts-node) can't fully commit to 7.0 compatibility yet. If this is ever wired into a script, it may fail against the pinned typescript@^7.0.2.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🔴 Critical | ⚡ Quick win

Connection failures are swallowed — server will start without a DB.

catch only logs; it never exits or rethrows, so await connectDB() in server.ts always resolves and the HTTP listener starts regardless of connection outcome. Combined with the non-null assertion on MONGODB_URI (no validation that it's actually set), a misconfigured environment fails silently and the app serves traffic that will error on every DB-touching request instead of failing fast at startup.

🐛 Suggested fix
 import mongoose from "mongoose";

 const connectDB = async () => {
+  const uri = process.env.MONGODB_URI;
+  if (!uri) {
+    throw new Error("MONGODB_URI is not defined");
+  }
   try {
     console.log("Connecting to MongoDB...");
-    await mongoose.connect(process.env.MONGODB_URI!);

     console.log("✅ MongoDB Connected");
   } catch (error) {

Node.js dns.setServers affects dns.resolve only not dns.lookup documentation

💡 Result:

The official Node.js documentation explicitly confirms that the dns.setServers method affects only dns.resolve, dns.resolve* (e.g., dns.resolve4, dns.resolve6), and dns.reverse, and specifically does not affect dns.lookup [1][2][3]. This distinction exists because of how these functions are implemented: 1. dns.lookup uses the operating system's underlying facilities for name resolution (such as getaddrinfo(3)). It may not necessarily use the DNS protocol and often utilizes system-level configurations (like /etc/hosts or system DNS settings) to perform resolutions, meaning it does not rely on the servers configured via dns.setServers [1][4][3]. 2. dns.resolve* functions are implemented by Node.js to perform DNS queries directly over the network using the DNS protocol. Consequently, they rely on the server addresses explicitly configured via dns.setServers [1][3][5]. Because of these fundamental differences, dns.lookup and dns.resolve* can behave differently, particularly when handling specific network configurations or host files [1][4].

Citations:


Avoid hard-coding public DNS servers here. dns.setServers() only affects Node dns.resolve*/resolveSrv lookups, but it still bypasses the environment’s DNS for MongoDB SRV/TXT resolution. That can break mongodb+srv:// connections in private or containerized deployments; prefer the platform DNS config, or scope this workaround to the MongoDB path.

Logging the raw MongoDB URI leaks credentials.

If MONGODB_URI contains inline credentials (mongodb+srv://user:pass@..., a common pattern), this prints them straight to stdout/log aggregators.

TypeScript 7 types compiler option default empty array auto include @types node globals documentation

💡 Result:

As of July 2026, TypeScript has changed the default behavior of the types compiler option [1][2]. Previously, TypeScript automatically included all packages found in node_modules/@types [3][4]. In recent versions (specifically starting with TypeScript 6.0), the default value for the types compiler option is an empty array ([]) [1][2]. This means that TypeScript no longer automatically includes all @types packages in your compilation [1][2]. Key changes and implications: - Default Behavior: The types option defaults to [], effectively disabling the automatic inclusion of global type packages from node_modules/@types [1][2]. - Global Types: If your project relies on global types—such as those provided by @types/node (e.g., process, Buffer) or testing frameworks (e.g., jest)—you must now explicitly list them in your tsconfig.json file [1][2]. For example: { "compilerOptions": { "types": ["node", "jest"] } } - Wildcard Opt-in: To restore the legacy behavior of automatically including all visible @types packages, you can set the types option to include the wildcard: "types": ["*"] [2]. - Compilation Performance: This change was implemented to significantly improve build times by preventing the unintentional inclusion of hundreds or thousands of unneeded declaration files [1][2]. Note that this change affects global type declarations; module-level types (e.g., importing a library via import { x } from "package") are still resolved through standard module resolution processes and do not necessarily require an entry in the types array [5][1].

Citations:


Add types: ["node"] to server/tsconfig.json. TypeScript 7 no longer auto-includes @types/*, so process/Buffer in server/server.ts and server/config/db.ts can fail under tsc unless Node types are listed explicitly.

Do not expose unhandled exception messages.

err.message can reveal internal driver, filesystem, or infrastructure details. Keep the server-side log, but return a fixed Internal Server Error response to clients.

Proposed fix
     res.status(500).json({
         success: false,
-        message: err.message || "Internal Server Error",
+        message: "Internal Server Error",

middleware around the err handler to keep logging err.stack server-side, but
replace the client-facing message with the fixed "Internal Server Error" value;
do not expose err.message in the response JSON.
