Research direction
Start by tracing how AnyProxy handles HEAD requests and calculates the Content-Length header, then reproduce the reported behavior on the NodeJS proxy path. Done means a proxied HEAD request preserves its original Content-Length unless a hook changes it; add or update coverage if the relevant test location is found.
