fix: resolve commission_rate schema mismatch causing silent default on project creation

[azlaan428]

Problem

Closes #10

Project creation was silently ignoring the actual commission rate and always saving the schema default (20%) instead.

Root Cause

The Mongoose model (models/project.js) defines the field as commisson_rate (typo, missing an "i"). Every part of the codebase that reads or writes this field — EditProject.tsx, the PUT handler, commission/route.js, invoice/route.js, stat/route.js — already uses that exact spelling and is internally consistent.

The one exception was the POST handler in app/api/project/route.js, which saved the field as commission_rate (correct spelling). Since Mongoose runs in strict mode by default, it silently dropped that field on every new project and fell back to the schema default of 20%, regardless of the sales person's actual contracted rate.

Changes

• app/api/project/route.js: renamed commission_rate → commisson_rate in the POST handler so project creation matches the schema and every other consumer.
• models/project.js:
  • Removed an incorrect import (import { string } from "sharp/lib/is") that was being used in place of Mongoose's built-in String type for clientName, email, phone, and address. Fixed those four fields to use type: String.
  • Added min: 0, max: 100 bounds to commisson_rate to prevent invalid data from being saved.

Testing

I wasn't able to test this end-to-end locally — there's no .env/dev environment configuration available yet, so I can't connect to a database or run the app fully. The fix is based on tracing every read/write of this field across the codebase to confirm the schema, frontend, and other API routes all agree on commisson_rate, and that the POST handler was the sole outlier.

Would appreciate a DB-backed test (create a project, confirm the saved rate matches the sales person's contract rate rather than defaulting to 20%) before merging.
