fix: allow fastify to set content-type dynamically

We can set content-type: application/json for specific routes, but
doing so ends up with confusing, over-engineered code.

Instead we should take care when auditing the endpoints.

Working on the new api

Connecting to local database

The api uses the ORM Prisma and it needs the MongoDB instance to be a replica set.

Atlas

If you use MongoDB Atlas, the set is managed for you.

Local

The simplest way to run a replica set locally is to use the docker-compose file in /tools. First disable any running MongoDB instance on your machine, then run the docker-compose file.

cd tools
docker compose up -d

Login in development/testing

During development and testing, the api exposes the endpoint GET auth/dev-callback. Calling this will log you in as the user with the email foo@bar.com by setting the session cookie for that user.
