fix: do not cache non-2xx responses - #192

Conversation
The Cache-control header was set in an onRequest hook before the response status was known, so error responses (4xx/5xx, including framework 404s) were served with the configured max-age. Browsers could then replay a stale error for the duration of max-age. Move the header to an onSend hook and only apply the configured caching value to 2xx responses; non-2xx responses get no-store. The existing guard that skips overriding a Cache-control header already set upstream is preserved. Closes fastify#182

Cache-controlheader was applied in anonRequesthook, before the status code is known, so 4xx/5xx errors were sent withmax-ageand cached. Moves the logic toonSend: 2xx keep the computed value, non-2xx getno-store; preserves the existing user-set-header guard.Closes #182
