Major version bump may break CommonJS require pattern

High Severity

Bumping express-rate-limit from ^7.6.0 to ^8.3.0 is a major version upgrade. The existing code in api-service/src/index.js uses const rateLimit = require('express-rate-limit') (non-destructured), but v8's documentation exclusively recommends the destructured named import const { rateLimit } = require('express-rate-limit'). If the CJS default export changed, rateLimit would be a module namespace object instead of a callable function, causing a TypeError at runtime and completely disabling rate limiting on the API.
