Every reload of a cached files. image failed in the browser with
ERR_HTTP2_PROTOCOL_ERROR. A browser revalidates a cached signed URL
with If-None-Match. Caddy reached SeaweedFS over HTTP/2, and there
SeaweedFS answers with a 304 declaring content-type: application/xml
and content-length: 327 while sending no body. Caddy then logged
"aborting with incomplete response ... unexpected EOF" and reset the
stream. Over HTTP/1.1 SeaweedFS's 304 is clean. Measured layer by layer:
DevTools, curl through Caddy, and curl direct over HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2.

The storage upstream is now HTTP/1.1 only (`versions 1.1`). Browsers
still reach the proxy over HTTP/2 and HTTP/3.

Delivery-layer CORS is the deployment's, so it no longer depends on
which S3 backend is behind it. SeaweedFS's default reflected any origin
and advertised PUT, POST and DELETE. Now the proxy:
- grants CORS only to the origins that read objects with fetch(): the
  Ekklesia origin, or, when split, the API origin (displays) and the
  Dashboard origin (a module's preview caches images through fetch());
- allows GET and HEAD only, with Vary: Origin;
- answers preflights itself, so they never reach storage;
- strips the object store's own CORS headers.

The deploy README documents the policy, its reasons, and what a
self-run proxy must do.
