The redirect middleware was a leftover from the custom HTTP server → Axum
migration. It executed on every single request (including static files),
allocating a String from the URI path and performing 3 starts_with() checks,
but never actually redirected anything — just debug logging.
- Remove middleware application from main.rs
- Remove pub mod redirect from middleware/mod.rs
- Delete redirect.rs (121 lines of dead code)
Saves ~80-170ns of overhead per request (String alloc + comparisons +
Tower layer dispatch).
