 - **OpenAPI 3.0 & 3.1 support** — Automatic version detection from the `openapi` field
 - **Response validation** — Validates response bodies against JSON Schema (Draft 07 via opis/json-schema). Supports `application/json` and any `+json` content type (e.g., `application/problem+json`)
+- **Content negotiation** — Accepts the actual response `Content-Type` to handle mixed-content specs. Non-JSON responses (e.g., `text/html`, `application/xml`) are verified for spec presence without body validation; JSON-compatible responses are fully schema-validated
 - **Endpoint coverage tracking** — Unique PHPUnit extension that reports which spec endpoints are covered by tests
 - **Path matching** — Handles parameterized paths (`/pets/{petId}`) with configurable prefix stripping
 - **Laravel adapter** — Optional trait for seamless integration with Laravel's `TestResponse`
