Code Review

This pull request, generated by Snyk, upgrades express-rate-limit from version 8.2.0 to 8.2.1. This is a minor patch update, which is good for keeping dependencies current. The changes in package.json and package-lock.json are correct for this version bump. I have added one suggestion to tighten the version constraint in package.json to improve long-term stability.

[gemini-code-assist]

For server-side applications where stability is crucial, it's often better to restrict the range of allowed dependency updates. Using a caret ^ allows for minor version updates (e.g., 8.3.0), which could potentially introduce unexpected breaking changes. I suggest using a tilde ~ instead, which will limit updates to patch releases only (e.g., 8.2.x). This provides a better balance between receiving bug fixes and maintaining stability.

Suggested change

	"express-rate-limit": "^8.2.1",
	"express-rate-limit": "~8.2.1",

Code Review

This pull request, automatically generated by Snyk, upgrades the express-rate-limit package from version 8.2.0 to 8.2.1. This is a patch update that includes a bug fix. While the project doesn't currently use the feature related to the fix, keeping dependencies up-to-date is a good practice for security and maintainability. The changes are confined to package.json and package-lock.json and are safe to merge.
