OP, Turn on CodeQL workflows in GH, you'll thank me later! Even if your code is bug free, it makes it easier to find out when common mistakes are introduced later on. Especially since you're asking for help with features and others will be doing PRs.

Great project. I remember using mongoose a while back that's also written in C. Personally, the more library independent and self-sufficient it is, the more I'm likely to use it. Like, if you can even avoid using the stdlib! Even thought that sounds crazy (but a server in C is a bit crazy anyways?). The more standalone it is, the more transformable and embeddable it can be.
