This final commit resolves a persistent and frustrating deployment crash (PathError: Missing parameter name). After multiple attempts using wildcard and splat patterns (*, /*, /:path(*)) failed due to incompatibilities with the routing library in the production environment, this change implements a more robust solution.

The catch-all route now uses a regular expression (/^\/(?!api).*/) to explicitly serve the React application for any path that does not begin with /api. This is a standard, highly compatible method that avoids the problematic syntax of the underlying path-to-regexp library, ensuring the server starts and runs correctly.

This commit resolves the persistent `PathError` runtime crash by implementing a regular expression-based catch-all route. This is a more robust and compatible method than wildcard or splat patterns.

The route `app.get('/:path(*)', ...)` has been changed to `app.get(/^\/(?!api).*/, ...)`.

This new route explicitly serves the `index.html` file for any path that does not begin with `/api`, ensuring that the frontend is served correctly while leaving the API endpoints unaffected. This definitive fix avoids the underlying syntax issues with `path-to-regexp` in the production environment.
