Supplemental curator note
We selected OkHttp as a shared Android/JVM transport layer rather than merely an HTTP helper: protocol handling, TLS, pooling, caching, and MockWebServer live in one project. The historical square/okhttp URL now resolves to lysine-dev/okhttp with the same repo ID, while Maven coordinates remain under com.squareup.okhttp3.
