Research direction
Start by running GOOS=linux GOARCH=amd64 CGO_ENABLED=0 go build ./cmd/queue and inspecting the resulting queue binary size. Trace which dependencies or build inputs make queue-proxy approximately 55.7MB, then verify that the build produces a substantially smaller binary without breaking the queue entry point.
