express breaking changes

• 4 \u2192 5api

  path-to-regexp upgraded to 8.x: wildcards now require an explicit name (e.g. `/files/*filepath` instead of `/files/*`).

  Migration

  Update route patterns: `/assets/*` -> `/assets/*assetPath`. Regex routes unchanged.

• 4 \u2192 5behavior

  req.body is `undefined` by default when no body-parsing middleware matches (was `{}` in 4.x).

  Migration

  Guard with `req.body ?? {}` or mount `express.json()` / `express.urlencoded()` as needed.

• 4 \u2192 5behavior

  Async middleware: rejected promises propagate to the error handler automatically.

  Migration

  You can now `throw` or reject inside async middleware without try/catch. Remove manual `.catch(next)` wrappers.

• 4 \u2192 5removal

  `req.param(name)` removed (deprecated in 4.x). `app.del` alias removed.

  Migration

  Use `req.params.name`, `req.body.name`, or `req.query.name` explicitly. Rename `app.del` to `app.delete`.

• 4 \u2192 5runtime

  Node.js 18+ required.

  Migration

  Upgrade Node to >= 18 before installing express@5.
