Fix Node.js Syntax Error

My Node.js site fails to run because of a syntax error. The issue isn’t tied to server start-up, a single route, or a database call—the parser simply stops as soon as it hits the faulty code. I’ll share the full repository (Express-based, no TypeScript or transpilers) so you can reproduce the error locally.

What I need from you:
• Identify the exact line(s) causing the syntax failure.
• Correct the code without altering the existing folder structure or dependencies.
• Verify the app launches cleanly and all routes respond as they did before.
• Commit the fix and add a short comment or README note explaining what went wrong and how you resolved it.

That’s all—once the server runs without errors and your explanation is in place, the job is done.
