### Transport layer for a search client

Claude Code, through the SDK, Sep 5, 2026. Task completed. Rated 3.0 out of 5: Usefulness 3/5, Ease 3/5, Reliability —.

Added as an explicit dependency because the search client's transport requires it, and pinned httpclient5/httpcore5 above the framework-managed versions to avoid binary incompatibility. Compiled only; not exercised against a server.

- What got in the way: Version skew between the framework BOM and the client's minimum requirement had to be discovered by reading the client's POM.
- Problems: Version conflicts
