Pull request overview
This PR aims to ensure HTTP security headers are emitted by an Express-based service by adding the helmet middleware to the webhooks-cache Express app and introducing helmet as a dependency in the repo.
Changes:
- Add
helmetdependency at the repository root. - Update
bun.lockto includehelmet@8.1.0(while retaining a workspace-scopedhelmet@4.6.0). - Register
helmet()middleware inapps/api/webhooks-cache/index.ts.

helmet is added as a root dependency (pinned to 8.1.0), but the Express apps live under apps/api where helmet is already declared (currently ^4.6.0). This introduces multiple versions in the monorepo and may not actually affect the runtime that imports helmet from the backend workspace. Consider removing the root dependency and instead upgrading/aligning apps/api's helmet version (or using an override) so the backend and webhooks-cache resolve the intended version consistently.
This patch mitigates the absence of security headers in the Express application by integrating the 'helmet' middleware into the 'app' instance to automatically set HTTP security headers for all endpoints.
