Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points, so first locate the REST response-generation path in the repository and review how response headers are handled. Done means automatic ETag generation by MD5-ing response content, with custom ETag logic remaining separately implementable; add or update tests for that behavior if the project has an existing response test location.
