Subject: [PATCH] Fix Vercel function request body parsing
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

🐛 Bug Fix:
- Replace req.json() with req.text() + JSON.parse() for Vercel compatibility
- Add proper error handling for malformed JSON requests
- Fix authentication endpoints (login/register) body parsing
- Fix admin users endpoint body parsing

🔧 Technical Details:
- Vercel functions don't support req.json() method directly
- Use req.text() to get raw body content then parse manually
- Add try/catch blocks for JSON parsing errors
- Maintain same API interface and error responses

✅ Endpoints Fixed:
- /api/auth/register - User registration
- /api/auth/login - User authentication
- /api/admin/users - Admin user management

This resolves the 'req.json is not a function' error in production.
