Wildcard vary absorbs other vary fields.

Case contract

Bounded offline decision model: wildcard vary absorbs other vary fields. Inputs are already validated protocol fields; the explicit fixtures define the supported policy, not a complete protocol implementation.

Why this case matters

This deterministic content negotiation model isolates the wildcard-vary-absorbs-other-vary-fields policy at a network component boundary.

One recorded failure
