	 * Whether the server-level static-rewrite fast path may be used.
	 *
	 * The rewrite serves `{host}{path}/index.html` straight from the web
	 * server, keyed only by host + path — it has no way to run our PHP
	 * device detection, so it can't tell mobile from desktop. When
	 * `mobile_separate` is on, a single static file would be shared across
	 * devices and whoever primed it wins (mobile visitors could get desktop
	 * HTML, or vice-versa). Rather than duplicate a wp_is_mobile()-equivalent
	 * UA matcher into .htaccess AND the nginx snippet (three copies that
	 * would inevitably drift), we simply DON'T engage the static rewrite when
	 * mobile_separate is on. Requests then fall through to the PHP drop-in,
	 * which buckets correctly — a small TTFB cost (~85ms vs ~30ms) paid only
	 * on mobile-separate sites, in exchange for guaranteed correctness.
	 *
	 * LiteSpeed exclusion (2026-06-16): on LiteSpeed — OpenLiteSpeed in
	 * particular — `.htaccess` CAN run our RewriteRule to serve the static
	 * file, but its `.htaccess` engine ignores `mod_headers`, so we cannot
	 * stamp the served response with `X-XSpeed-Cache: HIT`, AND there is no
	 * `.htaccess` equivalent of nginx's per-location `access_log` to record
	 * the hit. The result was a cache that worked but was invisible: no HIT
	 * header and a hit-ratio frozen near 0%. Every OTHER server gives the
	 * user a visible HIT header + a counted hit (nginx via add_header +
	 * access_log in its snippet; Apache via the `<IfModule mod_headers.c>`
	 * block in rewrite_block_lines(), WHEN that module is loaded — when it is
	 * not, Apache takes this same drop-in fallback). To keep LiteSpeed
	 * CONSISTENT with the rest, we route its hits
	 * through the PHP drop-in instead — the drop-in emits
	 * `X-XSpeed-Cache: HIT (php)` and calls Hit_Counter inline, exactly the
	 * observable behavior the other servers get. The cost is the drop-in's
	 * ~30ms TTFB vs the static path's ~10ms, paid only on LiteSpeed; in
	 * exchange the dashboard hit-ratio and the response header finally tell
	 * the truth there. (Apache keeps the static fast path — it honors the
	 * header.) See maybe_emit_lscache_headers() for the paired LSCache
	 * stand-down that stops LiteSpeed's own module from shadowing the
