Description

Parent: #523

Objective

Deliver low-effort, high-impact updates that reduce immediate operational risk and improve signal quality.

In scope

  • Remove error rethrow after HTTP response in src/index.ts
  • Ensure fatal server bootstrap failures exit non-zero in src/server.ts
  • Align GitHub Actions runtime with supported Node version and update action versions
  • Update Vitest include patterns to cover JS + TS specs
  • Refresh docs/tooling references that are clearly outdated

Acceptance criteria

  • API error middleware does not rethrow after sending response
  • Startup failure produces non-zero process exit
  • CI runs on supported Node version and passes
  • Test runner discovers both *.spec.js and *.spec.ts
  • Updated docs reflect current commands and runtime expectations

Notes

Keep this issue focused on minimal-risk, behavior-preserving changes.
