Address Brother QL printer by URL path instead of session cookie
deploy / deploy (push) Successful in 9s

Drops /brother/select and the session-based "active printer" state:
the printer key now lives in the path (/brother/<printer>/*), so the
proxy is stateless and any path under it -- including brother_ql_web's
API, not just its UI -- is reachable without a prior "activation" step.
