Note

Low Risk
Dependency-only upgrade with no application code changes; risk is limited to potential runtime behavior differences in Express and its transitive middleware stack.

Overview
Upgrades the resources/solution/node.js/ex_16 app’s Express dependency from 4.17.1 to 4.22.0 to address a reported vulnerability (via updated transitive deps like qs).

Updates package-lock.json accordingly, refreshing multiple transitive packages and adding several new low-level utility dependencies pulled in by the newer dependency graph.
