verified: nodemon watches only src, all tests live in backend/tests, and no test files exist under src, so dropping the ignore patterns is behavior neutral and the README note is right. merging. if you want to keep contributing, join us on Telegram: https://t.me/+DOylgFv1jyJlNzM0

Closes #1081
Summary
This PR updates the backend nodemon configuration to better reflect the project's current layout and clarifies how test files interact with the development server.
Changes
backend/nodemon.jsonto remove or correct misleading test ignore patterns.backend/testsdirectory.Why
The previous configuration included ignore patterns for test files under
src, while the project's test suite lives underbackend/tests. Since nodemon watches only the configured directories, those ignore patterns were misleading and could cause confusion for contributors.Testing
backend/nodemon.jsonis valid.Closes #1081
