6//! Static agent card handler with HTTP caching.
7//!
8//! [`StaticAgentCardHandler`] serves a pre-serialized [`AgentCard`] as JSON.
9//! The card is serialized once at construction time and served as raw bytes
10//! on every request. Supports HTTP caching via `ETag`, `Last-Modified`,
11//! `Cache-Control`, and conditional request headers (spec §8.3).
