Section: protocols
Description: Protocol handlers for HTTP/1.1, HTTP/2, and WebSocket.

Each protocol module translates between raw bytes on the wire and typed
protocol events. Protocol handlers are sans-I/O — they accept bytes and
return bytes, never touching sockets or asyncio directly.

Modules:
- _base: Event types and ProtocolHandler contract
- h1: HTTP/1.1 via h11 (phase 1)
- h2: HTTP/2 via h2 library (phase 3)
- ws: WebSocket via wsproto (phase 3)
