Replace .eslintrc.json with eslint.config.js using the new flat config
format required by ESLint 10. Swap @typescript-eslint/eslint-plugin and
@typescript-eslint/parser for the unified typescript-eslint package.
Upgrade TypeScript to 5.9 and @types/node to 25. Apply automatic code
fixes: remove unused catch bindings and preserve error cause in auth
header parsing.
The previous approach was simplistic and could result in inefficient queries
in certain edge cases, notably causing MongoDB to not utilize existing indexes
when querying by last inform timestamps given upper and lower bounds. The new
implementation leverages our existing expression minimizer code and can
therefore generate more efficient queries or at least queries that can take
advantage of existing indexes.
