Research direction
The issue identifies SimpleCookie but does not name a source file or test. Start by reproducing parsing with an entry whose name contains whitespace, then locate the standard-library implementation and existing cookie tests. Done means a malformed whitespace-name entry no longer prevents other cookies from being parsed, with regression coverage.
