 Endpoint cache defaults are immutable and apply only to that request. They require API-level cache configuration because the global cache setup provides the PSR-6 pool.

 ## Resource Cache Overrides
 
 `withCache()` lets SDK users override cache behavior for one resource chain while keeping query, headers, body, and verbs inside `Endpoint`.
