This commit resolves the 'Cannot GET /' error that occurred after deployment by configuring the Express server to serve the static frontend files. - The `server.mts` file is updated to use `express.static` to serve the contents of the `dist` directory. - A catch-all route (`*`) is added to serve `index.html` for any request that doesn't match an API endpoint or a static file. This is crucial for single-page applications like React to handle their own routing. - The server port is now configured to use the `PORT` environment variable provided by the hosting service, with a fallback to `3001` for local development.

This finalizes the full-stack setup by ensuring the production server serves both the backend API and the static frontend. Previously, the server only handled API requests, causing a 'Cannot GET /' error when visiting the site's root URL. This change adds the necessary middleware to serve the compiled React application, creating a fully functional, unified deployment.
