Research direction

Start with tests/test_parser.py and run TestResponseParser.test_parser_response_leninent_headers_1 using the reported Python, http-parser, and llhttp versions. Trace why HttpParserError is not raised with the system-provided libraries; done means the test behavior is resolved or the compatibility expectation is made explicit.
