Research direction

Start by reading the path-scurry package documentation and comparing its approach with the current path-handling implementation in fastify-static. The issue names no files or tests, so first locate the relevant entry points and establish a reproducible performance baseline. Done would require a clearly identified optimization and measurements showing whether it improves static-file serving.
