[REQUIRED] Version info

node:
v20.19.0

firebase-functions:
6.1.0

firebase-tools:
14.2.0

firebase-admin:
12.7.0

[REQUIRED] Test case

Would it be possible to re-export express.response so it can be used in user code for the function definition of the onRequest handler?

[REQUIRED] Steps to reproduce

// handler.ts
export async function myHandler(
  request: functions.https.Request,
  // eslint-disable-next-line @typescript-eslint/no-explicit-any
  response: any
)
// index.ts
export const foobar = onRequest(
    secrets: [],
    timeoutSeconds: 540,
    minInstances: minInstancesConfig,
  },
  async (request, response) => await myHandler(request, response)
);

[REQUIRED] Expected behavior

I'd prefer to have a type available for response instead of having to use any, ie functions.https.Response.

[REQUIRED] Actual behavior

Response is taken from Express 4.x. My project already includes Express 5.x, so it's awkward to include it separately, and it would be cleaner if firebase-functions just provided the type interface.

Were you able to successfully deploy your functions?

No problem here.
