7. Here the `response_model` is using a type annotation of a list of `Author` dataclasses.

    Again, you can combine `dataclasses` with standard type annotations.

8. Notice that this *path operation function* uses regular `def` instead of `async def`.

    As always, in FastAPI you can combine `def` and `async def` as needed.

        array[i++] = (Short) e;

     * Creates a new collection containing the given elements; implement this method instead of
     * {@link #create(Object...)}.
     */
    protected abstract List<Short> create(Short[] elements);

    @Override
    public Short[] createArray(int length) {
      return new Short[length];

      for (Object e : elements) {

      }

    }

       * 1. On Android, querying a WeakReference blocks if the GC is doing an otherwise-concurrent

       * consistency with how weak references are cleared). That's a behavior change -- arguably the

It very intentionally does not offer L7 (HTTP) functionality, for instance, which would likely violate some of the goals above, without contributing to them.
Instead, the rich functionality that service mesh is traditionally associated with is deferred to the waypoints.
The ztunnel is primarily a mechanism to get traffic to the waypoints, securely.

## Proxy implementation

/// info | "Technical Details"

`Security` is actually a subclass of `Depends`, and it has just one extra parameter that we'll see later.

But by using `Security` instead of `Depends`, **FastAPI** will know that it can declare security scopes, use them internally, and document the API with OpenAPI.

                return chainedResponse;
            }

            // fall trough if the tree connection is already established
            // and send it as a separate request instead
            String svc = null;
            int t = this.tid;
            request.setTid(t);

   * better approach is to /allow/ the request right away (as if it was an acquire(1) request
   * instead), and postpone /subsequent/ requests as needed. In this version, we allow starting the
   * task immediately, and postpone by 100 seconds future requests, thus we allow for work to get
   * done in the meantime instead of waiting idly.
