Summary: Update all dependencies to latest versions, with major upgrades to express-rate-limit (^6.4.0 → ^8.3.1), rate-limit-memcached (^0.6.0 → ^1.0.1), rate-limit-redis (^3.0.1 → ^4.3.1), and dev dependencies including @types/node (^18.11.9 → ^25.5.0), typescript (~5.2.2 → ~5.5.4), and jsdom (^21.0.0 → ^29.0.0).

Review Focus:

• Critical changes: The express-rate-limit v8 upgrade is a major version bump requiring code adjustments. Key changes include: the removed name option, new store reuse error handling requiring cache management, and modifications to how stores are created.
• Store management changes: Updated store provider to return null (letting v8 create its own InMemoryStore), and added caching logic in both the action provider and middleware to prevent store reuse errors.
• Type updates: Changed from default exports to named imports for rate-limit stores, updated Redis type from RedisClient to IORedis, and added explicit MemcachedClient type.
• Test setup changes: Added
