/**
 * Any class annotated with this marker is part of the protocol layer for remote host rendering.
 * Changes to these classes must take forward and backward compatibility into account.
 *
 * <p>Newer apps should be able to work with older hosts, if the functionality they use can be
 * emulated using older APIs or if they don't use newer features. The {@link RequiresCarApi}
 * annotation details on required versioning for compatibility for classes and methods.
