//! Authenticated JSON over HTTP — the transport layer under every remote
//! inference backend.
//!
//! # What this module deliberately does NOT know
//!
//! Not which *role* is calling: nothing here mentions embedding or extraction,
//! and the caller supplies its own [`ureq::Agent`] precisely because the two
//! roles need different ceilings (an embedding answers in a moment, a
//! generation can take minutes). A client that built its own agent would have
//! to know which of the two it was serving.
//!
//! Not which *vendor* is answering either. Once the path, the body and the
//! auth scheme all come from the caller, nothing OpenAI-specific is left —
//! which is the honest reason this is not called an "OpenAI client". The
//! OpenAI protocol lives one layer up, in [`crate::openai`]; Azure, Gemini or
//! Anthropic would each get their own protocol module over this same
//! transport.
//!
//! Not `velesdb-server`'s [`crate::http`] either, despite the neighbouring
//! name: that module *serves* MCP over HTTP, this one *calls* a model.
