TypeError: Cannot destructure property '<name>' of 'req.body' as it i…req.body is set only by a body parser whose type matches the request Content-Type; without a match Express 5 leaves it undefined (Express 4 used {}).
TypeError: Missing parameter name at index 1: *Express 5 matches paths with path-to-regexp 8, where * is a named wildcard like :param, so a bare * has no name and the route throws at registration.
