- Line 29: Resolve the incompatibility between the backend’s
require("file-type") usage and file-type@22.0.1 by either migrating the backend
import/runtime to ESM with Node.js 22 support or, preferably, pinning file-type
to a version compatible with the existing CommonJS backend and Node.js 18/20 CI
environments. Update the dependency entry and ensure the current backend loading
path remains functional.
- Around line 43-45: Update backend/package.json by removing the direct uuid
entry from devDependencies and removing the gaxios override. Allow gaxios to
resolve its compatible uuid^9.0.1 dependency, or configure the override to a
CommonJS-compatible uuid version.

🌐 Web query:
file-type 22.0.1 package.json engines type fileTypeFromBuffer Node.js
💡 Result:
The file-type package version 22.0.1 requires Node.js 22 or later [1][2][3]. It is an ESM-only package, meaning your project must also be configured for ESM (e.g., "type": "module" in your package.json) [4][5][6]. The fileTypeFromBuffer function is a core export of the package [7][8]. It is used to detect the file type (MIME type and extension) of a Uint8Array or ArrayBuffer by inspecting its magic number [7][9]. Example usage: import {fileTypeFromBuffer} from 'file-type'; import {readChunk} from 'read-chunk'; const buffer = await readChunk('file', {length: 4100}); const type = await fileTypeFromBuffer(buffer); console.log(type); // {ext: '...', mime: '...'} or undefined [7][8] Note that starting with version 22.0.0, the package dropped support for Node.js Readable streams in favor of web ReadableStreams [2][3]. If you have a Node.js Readable stream, you should convert it using Readable.toWeb before passing it to related functions [2].

Use a compatible file-type version or migrate the backend to ESM.
The backend uses require("file-type"), but file-type@22.0.1 is ESM-only and requires Node.js >=22. CI currently runs Node.js 18 and 20. Update the import and runtime, or select a compatible package version.

gaxios 6.7.1 uuid require CommonJS source
💡 Result:
In gaxios version 6.7.1, the uuid dependency upgrade to v10 was rolled back [1][2]. This rollback was performed to address compatibility issues introduced in version 6.7.0, specifically crashes occurring in older Node.js environments (such as Node.js 14 versions prior to 14.18.0) caused by uuid v10's requirement for newer Node.js features like 'node:crypto' [3][4]. By reverting this change in 6.7.1, gaxios returned to a state compatible with the previous uuid versioning, ensuring that common CommonJS environments that may have been broken by the upgrade would function as expected [3][4].

🌐 Web query:
uuid 14.0.1 package.json exports require CommonJS
💡 Result:
In the uuid package, version 14.0.1 does not support CommonJS [1][2][3]. Starting with version 12, the uuid library removed support for CommonJS entirely, shifting to a pure ECMAScript Module (ESM) codebase [3][4]. Consequently, the package.json exports field in version 14.0.1 does not provide a require condition for CommonJS, as the package is intended for use in ESM environments [1][3]. Users attempting to use require with this version will encounter errors, as the library no longer provides the CommonJS compatibility layer that existed in earlier versions [3]. If you are working in a CommonJS project, you must either use an older version of the uuid package (prior to v12) or migrate your project to ESM [3].
