Note

Low Risk
Lockfile-only dependency bumps; risk is limited to potential runtime behavior changes in Express query parsing and request handling.

Overview
Bumps express from 4.21.2 to 4.22.1 in package-lock.json, including switching several Express dependency ranges to tilde (~) constraints.

Updates Express’s bundled qs to 6.14.1 (and adds its lock entry), while leaving the top-level qs lock at 6.13.0 as-is.
