Bug report (typescript repo "router"):
2 findings from this week's triage. They have separate causes and are not related to one another; all 2 need fixing.

1. The router picks the least specific route that matches.
   A request for /users/me is handled by /users/:id even though /users/me is
   registered, and /assets/logo.svg is picked up by the catch-all /assets/*path
   rather than by /assets/logo.svg. It looks like the ordering of candidate routes
   is upside down: the vaguest match wins instead of the sharpest.

2. A bug in one of our middlewares corrupted a whole batch of requests before we
   noticed, and the router gave us no signal at all.
   The middleware in question awaited next(), then on a certain branch called
   next() a second time. Everything below it in the stack ran twice against the
   same request -- including a layer that charges a payment. We only found it from
   the duplicate charges.
   Running the remainder of the stack twice for one request is never correct.
   The composed handler should refuse it rather than quietly do it.

Repository files (containing the defects):
README.md: # router

A small HTTP router: pattern matching, middleware composition, and the bits of
header/query handling a router needs.

```ts
import { Router } from './src/index.ts';

const router = new Router();
router.add('GET', '/users/:id', async (req) => ({ status: 200, body: String(req.params.id) }));
router.add('GET', '/users/me', async () => ({ status: 200, body: 'self' }));

router.resolve('GET', '/users/me')?.pattern;   // '/users/me' -- static beats param
router.resolve('GET', '/users/42')?.params;    // { id: '42' }
```

## Layout

| module | role |
|---|---|
| `router.ts` | method-aware routing, with a cache of resolved paths |
| `trie.ts` | the route table: collects matches, orders them by specificity |
| `matcher.ts` | pattern parsing and the specificity ranking |
| `middleware.ts` | composition of a middleware stack |
| `params.ts` | coercion of raw path parameters |
| `query.ts` | query-string parsing, including repeated keys |
| `headers.ts` | case-insensitive header storage |
| `negotiate.ts` | Accept-header content negotiation |
| `cache.ts` | LRU used for compiled routes |
| `url.ts` | path splitting and normalisation |
| `errors.ts` | error types |
| `types.ts` | shared request/response shapes |

## Design notes

**Specificity, not registration order.** Every route that matches is collected
and the most specific wins, compared segment by segment from the left: static
beats parameter beats wildcard. Two routers given the same routes in different
orders resolve identically.

**Recency means use.** The route cache is LRU by *access*, so reading an entry
makes it the newest. A hot route is never the eviction candidate.

**Client preference breaks ties.** In content negotiation, equal quality values
are resolved in the order the client listed them.

**Case-insensitive fields.** Header names are stored and looked up lower-cased,
as HTTP requires; values keep their case.

src/cache.ts: /**
 * A least-recently-used cache for compiled routes.
 *
 * Recency is defined by *use*, not by insertion: reading an entry makes it the
 * most recently used one, so a hot entry is never the eviction candidate no
 * matter how long ago it was first stored.

README.md: # router

A small HTTP router: pattern matching, middleware composition, and the bits of
header/query handling a router needs.

```ts
import { Router } from './src/index.ts';

const router = new Router();
router.add('GET', '/users/:id', async (req) => ({ status: 200, body: String(req.params.id) }));
router.add('GET', '/users/me', async () => ({ status: 200, body: 'self' }));

router.resolve('GET', '/users/me')?.pattern;   // '/users/me' -- static beats param
router.resolve('GET', '/users/42')?.params;    // { id: '42' }
```

## Layout

| module | role |
|---|---|
| `router.ts` | method-aware routing, with a cache of resolved paths |
| `trie.ts` | the route table: collects matches, orders them by specificity |
| `matcher.ts` | pattern parsing and the specificity ranking |
| `middleware.ts` | composition of a middleware stack |
| `params.ts` | coercion of raw path parameters |
| `query.ts` | query-string parsing, including repeated keys |
| `headers.ts` | case-insensitive header storage |
| `negotiate.ts` | Accept-header content negotiation |
| `cache.ts` | LRU used for compiled routes |
| `url.ts` | path splitting and normalisation |
| `errors.ts` | error types |
| `types.ts` | shared request/response shapes |

## Design notes

**Specificity, not registration order.** Every route that matches is collected
and the most specific wins, compared segment by segment from the left: static
beats parameter beats wildcard. Two routers given the same routes in different
orders resolve identically.

**Recency means use.** The route cache is LRU by *access*, so reading an entry
makes it the newest. A hot route is never the eviction candidate.

**Client preference breaks ties.** In content negotiation, equal quality values
are resolved in the order the client listed them.

**Case-insensitive fields.** Header names are stored and looked up lower-cased,
as HTTP requires; values keep their case.

src/cache.ts: /**
 * A least-recently-used cache for compiled routes.
 *
 * Recency is defined by *use*, not by insertion: reading an entry makes it the
 * most recently used one, so a hot entry is never the eviction candidate no
 * matter how long ago it was first stored.
