Moved the express.json() middleware from the global scope to be a route-specific middleware on the /v1/chat/completions endpoint. This optimization prevents the Express application from unnecessarily buffering and parsing large JSON bodies sent to arbitrary or non-existent routes (like the 404 handler). By moving the JSON parsing logic into the route and shifting the corresponding syntax error handler below the route definition, the application becomes significantly more resilient against CPU exhaustion denial of service attacks without introducing regressions.

👋 Jules, reporting for duty! I'm here to lend a hand with this pull request.

When you start a review, I'll add a 👀 emoji to each comment to let you know I've read it. I'll focus on feedback directed at me and will do my best to stay out of conversations between you and other bots or reviewers to keep the noise down.

I'll push a commit with your requested changes shortly after. Please note there might be a delay between these steps, but rest assured I'm on the job!

For more direct control, you can switch me to Reactive Mode. When this mode is on, I will only act on comments where you specifically mention me with @jules. You can find this option in the Pull Request section of your global Jules UI settings. You can always switch back!
