Proposed changes (including videos or screenshots)

This pull request makes small internal improvements to the API router handler with no change in runtime behavior.

What was changed

  • Removed unnecessary Request.clone() usage to avoid extra memory allocation
  • Replaced logical OR (||) with nullish coalescing (??) for safer bodyParams resolution
  • Improved type safety by replacing any with a concrete Hono response type
  • Minor generic type cleanup for better readability

Why this change

These updates improve code clarity, type safety, and maintainability while keeping the public API and behavior unchanged. The changes are internal-only and low risk.

Issue(s)

N/A

Steps to test or reproduce

  1. Start the server normally
  2. Call any existing API route using this router
  3. Verify that request handling and responses behave exactly as before

No user-facing behavior changes were introduced.

Further comments

This PR focuses only on internal refactoring and type-safety improvements.
No logic or behavior changes were made.

Walkthrough

Refines the APIActionContext type system and request handling in the router. The response field now uses a concrete HonoContext['res'] type instead of any. Request initialization removes the clone() operation, and bodyParams retrieval switches from logical OR to nullish coalescing for more precise undefined handling.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
APIActionContext Type & Request Handling
apps/meteor/app/api/server/router.ts
Tightened response field type to HonoContext['res'] for stronger type safety. Removed req.raw.clone() call in request initialization. Changed bodyParams retrieval from logical OR (||) to nullish coalescing (??) for better undefined value handling.

Poem

🐰 A rabbit hopped through type declarations with glee,
Banishing any, making contracts more free,
No clones were needed, just references so true,
Nullish coalescing brought clarity anew,
The API now stronger, from whiskers to toe! ✨
