Today ServeHTTP rejects non-GET with 405 ("Only GET method is supported"). Content paths, /metrics, /lancache-heartbeat all ride that gate.

Steam downloads are GET of depot chunks; HEAD is not required for SteamPipe / SteamPrefill correctness.

Nice-to-have for ops: curl -I, LB probes, existence checks without body. nginx/Lancache-style proxies often allow HEAD next to GET.

If implemented later: same status/headers as GET, empty body; do not trigger coalesced upstream fetch just for a probe (avoid inventing misses).

Explicit: backlog only — do not assign, do not schedule, do not start work unless Justin/Rex reopens it.
