8+ //!
9+ //! Design choices:
10+ //! - rawIntercept: called before any header parsing for each URING request.
11+ //! Handles /pipeline with zero parse overhead (direct byte-match + sink write),
12+ //! direct byte-match before any parsing, avoiding the header scan loop. Routes that fall
13+ //! through are handled by the Router dispatch with full parsing.
14+ //! - Router: comptime route table (StaticStringMap for EXACT, inline for PREFIX).
15+ //! - PIPELINE_RESP: precomputed response bytes; one sink.append per request, no
16+ //! header build overhead.
