• remove next entirely for async middleware:

Edited
userModel.js

What Was Actually Wrong

• trust proxy - Fixed in app.js (for rate limiter on Render)
• next() in async middleware - Just removed from userModel.js:39-44
• The Final Solution (from your own document):
• In Mongoose 9.x with async functions:

Don't use next parameter
Don't call next()
Just return to exit early
Let errors throw naturally (async auto-catches them)

Let's see!
