Fixes directory traversal vulnerability in /api routes by hoisting an un-encoded ../ guard to top of request handling.

Full changelog

[1.59.10] — 2026-05-21

fix(api): NEW-F1-sub-r1 (v1.59.10) — un-encoded ../ traversal guard hoisted above all /api route registrations. v1.59.8 added a req.originalUrl.includes('..') middleware, but it was placed AFTER app.all('/api/*', JSON-404) AND AFTER all route handlers — by which time Express had already normalised the URL (collapsing .. segments). /api/jds/../../../etc/passwd was rewritten to /etc/passwd and fell through to the SPA static handler (200 OK on index.html). v1.59.10 hoists the guard to the TOP of server/index.mjs createApp() (above every register*Routes(app) call) so it inspects the verbatim request URL before any normalisation. Pattern: /^\/api(\/|$)/.test(req.originalUrl) && /\.\.\//.test(req.originalUrl). New tests/api-path-traversal.test.mjs — 6 cases driving the real http module (Node's fetch normalises .. client-side, so we drop to http.request with a verbatim path). Unknown /api/* paths still return {error: 'unknown api'} from the existing app.all fallback. 982 → 988 unit. (NEW-F1-sub-r1)
