chore(frontend): update dependencies to latest compatible versions

 ### Changed
 - **Database schema initialization** — Switched from `SchemaUtils.create()` to `SchemaUtils.createMissingTablesAndColumns()` so new columns (like alias) are automatically added to existing tables on deployment without manual migration
+- **Frontend dependencies** — Updated all frontend packages to their latest compatible (non-breaking) versions, including Cypress, Vitest, i18next, react-i18next, jsdom, PostCSS, autoprefixer, TailwindCSS, and vite-plugin-pwa, keeping the toolchain current and reducing the surface for known issues
+- **Frontend Docker base image** — Bumped the frontend dev and production Dockerfiles from `node:20-alpine` to `node:24-alpine` so the container's npm major version matches local development (npm 11), and switched `npm ci` to `npm install` so the lock file is reconciled on every build, preventing npm-version lockfile drift from breaking the build
 
 ### Fixed
 - **Flaky backend tests** — Resolved intermittent `PSQLException: Connection refused` errors in CI by fixing Testcontainers lifecycle mismatch (`@Container` moved to `companion object` for all `@TestInstance(PER_CLASS)` test classes) and disabling parallel test-class execution (`maxParallelForks = 1`) to prevent Exposed's global database registry from being overwritten mid-test by a concurrently running test class
+- **Add-item timeout type** — Replaced the Node-specific `NodeJS.Timeout` type in the Add Item form with the browser-safe `ReturnType<typeof setTimeout>`, so the TypeScript build no longer depends on Node type definitions that don't belong in browser code
+- **Docker frontend build** — Regenerated `package-lock.json` with npm 10 so the `node:20-alpine` image's `npm ci` no longer fails with an out-of-sync error; npm 11 had omitted esbuild's per-platform optional binary entries that npm 10 requires
