JSDoc for the req.query getter documents the wrong return type #7525
Description
In lib/request.js, the JSDoc block above the query getter says @return {String}, but the getter parses the query string with the configured query parser and returns an object. Since the 5.x API reference is generated from these comments, the docs page shows the wrong type. It should be @return {Object}.

Which Express docs page and API reference is generated from JSDoc comments? Is this sentence just written by an LLM and was it not checked by a human?
The official website expressjs.com does not generate anything from JSDoc and it shows
Objectas the type ofreq.query.
