My Node.js-based site stops cold the moment it starts. I know it is a runtime error triggered right at startup, but I’m not seeing a clear stack trace or message. I need someone who can: • pull the project, replicate the startup crash, and isolate the root cause • implement a clean, minimal fix without breaking existing functionality • explain what went wrong and document any code changes (file names, lines edited, commands run) so I can maintain the patch going forward The repo is ready to share, and install/setup is straightforward (standard npm install && npm start flow). If you prefer a particular diagnostic tool or logging package, feel free to bring it—just keep dependencies lightweight. Once you’ve resolved the issue, I’ll test the site on my end; if it launches without crashing, the job’s done.

⚠ NO PAYMENT UNLESS YOU'RE SATISFIED ⚠ I’ve dealt with Node.js startup crashes before, often caused by subtle dependency mismatches or runtime-level misconfigurations. I can pull your repo, replicate the failure locally, and pinpoint the root cause without adding heavy packages or altering your existing flow. Once fixed, I’ll document exactly what went wrong, the code lines touched, and any commands run so you can maintain it easily going forward. Could you confirm if the crash happens before any logs print to the console, or do you see at least some initialization output before it halts?
