Code Review

This pull request is a security update from Snyk, upgrading the express dependency from ^4.20.0 to ^4.22.0 in the basic-gemini test application. This change addresses a medium-severity vulnerability. The update is correct, but as the Snyk bot noted, the pnpm-lock.yaml file has not been updated. It is critical to manually update the lock file to ensure the security fix is actually applied. Please update the lock file before merging this PR.

[gemini-code-assist]

This dependency upgrade is important for security. However, as noted in the PR description, the pnpm-lock.yaml file was not automatically updated. Please run pnpm install to update the lock file and commit the result. Without this step, the security vulnerability might not be resolved in your environments, as the lock file dictates the exact versions to be installed.

[Copilot]

express was bumped in package.json, but the workspace lockfile (js/pnpm-lock.yaml) still pins testapps/basic-gemini to express 4.21.2 with specifier ^4.20.0. Please run pnpm install (from the js workspace root) and commit the updated lockfile so the upgrade is actually applied and builds are reproducible.

Update lockfile to apply the Express security bump

Changing this dependency range alone does not actually upgrade the resolved package for lockfile-based installs: js/pnpm-lock.yaml still pins testapps/basic-gemini to express 4.21.2 (express: specifier ^4.20.0, version 4.21.2 at lines 1061-1063), so environments that install from the committed lockfile will continue to use the vulnerable version and the security fix in this commit is incomplete.
