Description

## Summary

`POST` requests do not support `HEAD`. `HEAD` request handling should be removed from all `POST` routes and fail into a 'wrong method' response.

Research direction

Start by tracing the /query route and comparing its HEAD and POST handling, then identify the other POST routes that accept HEAD. Exercise those endpoints to confirm HEAD returns the project's wrong-method response while POST /query still returns 200 with an empty array.
