## The brief

Vercel's September 10 FastAPI update moves eligible frontend and StaticFiles content onto its CDN during builds, avoiding a function invocation for those requests. Route declaration order still decides whether an earlier application route takes precedence. Frontends protected by dependencies and static files behind middleware stay on the function by default, preserving checks that the CDN cannot perform.
