Fixes: #297

Replace 'assert { type: "json" }' with 'with { type: "json" }' across
all public and kitchen-sink controllers.

- Resolves Node.js v20+ compatibility issues causing SyntaxError on startup
- Fixes issues hiteshchoudhary#288 and hiteshchoudhary#306 - application now starts successfully
- Updated 11 controller files to use modern import attribute syntax

This change ensures compatibility with Node.js v20+ where the assert keyword
for JSON imports has been deprecated in favor of the with keyword.
Add automatic cart creation when user attempts to add items to non-existent cart.
Add proper validation for cart operations that require existing cart.

- Fix addItemOrUpdateItemQuantity to create cart if it doesn't exist
- Add null checks in removeItemFromCart and clearCart functions
- Fix syntax error with trailing comma in getCart aggregation
- Resolves issue hiteshchoudhary#297 where API crashes when user has no cart

This ensures new users can successfully add items to their cart and
prevents 'Cannot read property items of null' errors.
