fix(convex): cast request.json() in HTTP actions for TS compatibility

[koala73]

Summary

Convex's TypeScript environment types request.json() as unknown, stricter than our local tsconfig.json. This caused 4 type errors that blocked convex deploy:

• convex/http.ts:86 — user-prefs POST body
• convex/http.ts:156 — telegram-pair-callback update
• convex/http.ts:201 — relay/deactivate body
• convex/http.ts:247 — relay/channels body

Fix: await request.json() as typeof body/update on each assignment.

Post-Deploy Monitoring & Validation

No additional operational monitoring required: type-only fix, no runtime behavior change.

Greptile Summary

This PR adds four as typeof body / as typeof update type assertions in convex/http.ts to resolve TypeScript compilation errors introduced by Convex's runtime environment typing request.json() as unknown, which is stricter than what the local tsconfig.json allowed previously.

Changes:

• convex/http.ts lines 86, 156, 201, 247: await request.json() is now cast to the locally-declared variable type via as typeof body / as typeof update.
• This is a compile-time-only fix; TypeScript type assertions have zero runtime effect.
• All four affected handlers already perform proper runtime field validation (type-checks and presence checks) after JSON parsing, so the cast is safe in each case.
• The fix unblocks convex deploy without altering any observable runtime behaviour.

Confidence Score: 5/5

Safe to merge — purely compile-time fix with no runtime behaviour change.

All four changes are TypeScript-only assertions that carry no runtime cost or risk. Each handler already guards against malformed input through explicit runtime validation after the parse. The as typeof body pattern is idiomatic TypeScript for narrowing unknown JSON results when runtime checks follow immediately.

No files require special attention.

Important Files Changed

Filename	Overview
convex/http.ts	Four type-only casts added (as typeof body / as typeof update) to satisfy Convex's stricter unknown typing for request.json(); no runtime behavior change, all handlers retain existing runtime validation after the cast.
