 ### Added
 - Asynchronous API: `lookupAsync`/`parseAsync` methods on `IpregistryClient` return a `CompletableFuture` and are backed by a virtual-thread-per-task executor by default. The executor is configurable via `IpregistryConfig#executor` (a caller-provided executor is not shut down by the client).
 - Support for a caller-provided `CloseableHttpClient` via new `IpregistryClient` and `DefaultRequestHandler` constructors, allowing full control over connection pooling, proxying, TLS, and metrics. An injected client is not closed by the Ipregistry client (the caller retains ownership).
