Cookie header parsing
Parse an HTTP Cookie header value into a dict. The header is a string of '; '-separated pairs like 'sessionId=abc123; theme=dark'. Each pair is 'name=value'; a bare token with no '=' maps to an empty-string value. Trim surrounding whitespace from names and values. Return an empty dict for an empty header.

State your approach and its time/space complexity out loud before you optimize. Handle the edge cases (empty input, duplicates, overflow), and say why you chose this over the brute force. Green tests are the floor, not the grade.
