Note

Medium Risk
Dependency upgrade to the ORM layer may subtly change query generation/behavior at runtime; risk is moderate despite being a version bump.

Overview
Updates the backend dependency sequelize from 6.21.2 to 6.37.8 in backend/package.json (includes upstream fixes and a security improvement around validating cast types in JSON where clauses).
