"""Smart HTTP compression middleware (Brotli + gzip with content-type exclusion).

Replaces starlette's GZipMiddleware, which had three measured problems on this
app:

1. **API JSON was gzip-only.** GZipMiddleware never serves Brotli even when the
   client sends `Accept-Encoding: br`. For text/JSON, Brotli is ~20-30% smaller
   than gzip. This middleware negotiates `br` first, then `gzip`.

2. **woff2 fonts were gzip-RECOMPRESSED, making them slightly bigger** (woff2 is
   already a compressed container; gzip just adds framing overhead — measured
   14976 B on disk → 14999 B over the wire). GZipMiddleware can't exclude by
   content-type. This middleware skips an explicit set of already-compressed
   content types (fonts/images/video/archives) so they are served `identity`.

3. **Double compression of precompressed static assets.** The `/static` handler
   serves prebuilt `.br`/`.gz` siblings and sets `Content-Encoding`. Like
   GZipMiddleware, this middleware skips any response that already carries a
   `Content-Encoding` header, so those are not re-compressed.

It also leaves Range/206/416 responses untouched (so media range requests keep
working) and always advertises `Vary: Accept-Encoding`.

Pure-ASGI, no dependency on `brotli-asgi`; uses the already-installed `brotli`
package (with a graceful gzip-only fallback if brotli is somehow missing).
