Locals should not extend Record<string, any>

[djMax]

I'm rebuilding a large bit of microservice infrastructure around Typescript and Express 5. In general it's going well, BUT, because the Express Request/App/Response types force the generic type arguments for locals to extend from Record<string, any>, I can't get proper type checking on those locals. If you misspell a property name, TS doesn't care. Should we just remove the type constraint there? Or should it extend {} instead?

You're probably using @types/express package, which is a part of DefinitelyTyped project. Express itself does not contain type definitions.
