This PR adds CommonJS (CJS) build output to the package. While ESM is the standard, many backend frameworks—most notably NestJS—still default to or rely heavily on CommonJS/require for module loading.
Problem
Currently, attempting to import this package in a CJS environment (like a standard NestJS application or a TypeScript project compiling to CJS) results in the following runtime error:
Error [ERR_PACKAGE_PATH_NOT_EXPORTED]: Package subpath './express' is not defined by "exports" in ...This happens because node is looking for a require entry in the exports map but only finds import.
