Note

Medium Risk
Mongoose and the MongoDB driver upgrade can change query casting, validation, and hydration behavior in any tests that use MongoDB, though scope is limited to dev dependencies in /tests.

Overview
Updates tests/package-lock.json only: bumps mongoose from 9.4.1 to 9.8.1 (dev/optional transitive dependency).

The lockfile refresh also pulls MongoDB Node driver ~7.5 (from ~7.1), bumps related packages (bson, kareem, @mongodb-js/saslprep, mongodb-connection-string-url), adds @standard-schema/spec, and drops some unused optional chokidar-related entries from the tree.
