Description

Restify Version: 10.0.0
Node.js Version: v18.19.1

Expected behaviour

Previously, my code worked seamlessly with Restify v8.5.1. However, after upgrading to v10.0.0, every endpoint started responding with the following message:

{
    "code": "InternalServer",
    "message": "Reached the end of the handler chain without writing a response!"
}

I tried to debug the issue but not able to find the exact root cause of the issue. And there is no migration guide for version 8 -> 10/10+

Repro case

Research direction

No reproduction case, files, tests, or entry points are provided. Start by building a minimal comparison between Restify 8.5.1 and 10.0.0 on Node.js v18.19.1, then identify the handler-chain change causing the response. Done means confirming the cause and documenting the relevant 8-to-10 migration guidance.
