+// BRAINLLM production server (INTERNALS §11.1, §22, §31). Node ≥ 22, zero dependencies (node:http).
+// `brain build` copies this file to dist/server.mjs when the app has `load` or `server:` functions; `brain start`
+// (INTERNALS §34) runs it with the listening socket inherited as BRAIN_LISTEN_FD (else PORT/HOST) and with the
+// environment it resolved from `.brain_env` (§36): this file reads no env file itself. It prints `brain:ready <pid>`
+// once it accepts and drains on SIGTERM.
+//
+// It serves, in this order:
+//   GET  /_health                → 200 {"ok":true,"build":"<sig>"}
+//   POST /_r/<hash>/<fn>         → RPC to a `server:` function (same origin + X-Brain-RPC, 64 KB, rate limit, 10 s)
+//   GET  routes in the manifest  → SSR: load(ctx) → render the view on the DOM shim → page with props and SEO head
+//   GET  files in dist/          → static (precompressed .br/.gz when accepted; /_b/* immutable), clean URLs
+//   anything else                → 404 page
+// Every response carries the security headers; every HTML response gets a fresh CSP nonce on each <script>.
+//
+// dist/_server/manifest.json (emitted by brain build):
+//   { v, build, core, routes: [{ path, view, layouts, server, page }], rpc: { <hash>: <module> }, notFound }
+// `build` is the build signature (§35.7): sent as X-Brain-Build on every HTML response and in /_health.
+// A page template (`page`) is the route's final HTML with `<!--brain:ssr-->` inside #brain-view and
+// `<!--brain:props-->` inside <script type="application/json" id="brain-props">.
