+  - `/healthz` now mirrors backend health status (`200`/`503`) in native mode
+  - absolute-form request-target parsing (e.g. `GET http://host/path HTTP/1.1`) now normalizes to route path parity

+- Change: Improved native Rust control-path parity for health/status and request-target parsing.
+- APIs covered: native `/healthz` now mirrors backend service health transitions (`200`/`503`) and native route matching now handles absolute-form HTTP request targets before path dispatch.
+- Profiles covered: full existing HTTP/gRPC integration matrix in native mode (`VOLUME_SERVER_IMPL=rust`, `VOLUME_SERVER_RUST_MODE=native`).
+- Gaps introduced/remaining: core HTTP data handlers and all gRPC RPC handlers are still delegated and remain the primary native implementation gap.
