Research direction

Start by locating where finalhandler is imported or used and where the dependency is declared. Review the existing workaround and unwanted CSP behavior, then verify that finalhandler is removed while the server retains the intended barebones response handling.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

This dependency contributes a bit of bulk to this package: https://npmgraph.js.org/?q=@11ty/[email protected]#select=finalhandler%402.1.1

And appears to be unnecessary, and kind of an inconvenience even - it has one bug with a workaround and an unwanted CSP policy. I think it could be removed and replaced with the barebones logic that we want instead.
