I think the error might be from your config file, can you try this approach just to be sure, that you have your jwt files properly called

  // Ensure JWT secret is defined
    const jwtSecret = config.jwt.secret || "2e6767eed71s72s";
    if (!jwtSecret) {
      res.status(500).json({
        status: "error",
        message: "JWT secret is missing",
      });
      return;
    }

    // Generate JWT token
    const token = jwt.sign({ userId: user._id.toString() }, jwtSecret, {
      expiresIn: config.jwt.expiresIn || "1h", // Default to 1 hour if undefined
    });
