[agaesh]

Reopening this issue due to branch naming correction — previous merge was done under feature/es6-controller, but the correct convention should be refactor/es6-controller. This branch also should be renamed to refactor/es6-model .The migration work remains valid; tracking continues here for consistency.

The migration of all Sequelize models to ES Module syntax has been successfully completed and merged under fix/es6-migration
All model files and the index.js loader have been refactored for modern import/export consistency.
