The /api router added its own predicate-less CompressionLayer (routes.rs),
nested inside the global predicate-aware one in main.rs. As the inner layer it
compressed responses first, so the global predicate that skips already-
compressed media was bypassed for every /api response: video/audio/image/zip
downloads got Brotli-compressed (CPU + first-byte latency for ~0 bytes saved)
and lost their Content-Length (forced to chunked -> no client progress bar).
- Remove the redundant /api CompressionLayer; /api now flows through the
single global layer in main.rs.
- Make that predicate smarter: compress by default so nothing shrinkable is
missed, and skip ONLY already-compressed types. It no longer blanket-excludes
image/*, so image/svg+xml (text, ~70% shrink) now compresses; raster formats
are listed individually. Added the previously-missed already-compressed
types: Office (docx/xlsx/pptx), ODF, epub, jar, apk, 7z/rar/bzip2/zstd/xz,
woff/woff2 fonts, icons.
Net: media downloads keep Content-Length and skip pointless compression, while
text/JSON/JS/CSS/SVG/XML/ttf/otf/wasm still compress. fmt + clippy clean.
