+Clients can declare their capabilities to Valkey using the `CLIENT CAPA` command, and Valkey
+will adjust the corresponding features for the current connection based on the declared client capabilities.
+
+Multiple capabilities can be declared in the command. If any capabilities are unrecognized,
+Valkey will ignore them instead of returning an error.
+
+The capabilities currently supported are:
+
+* `redirect` - This indicates that the client is capable of handling redirect messages.
+  When accessing a replica node in standalone mode, if a data operation is performed (read or write commands),
+  Valkey will return `-REDIRECT primary-ip:port` to this connection.
+  Using the `READONLY` command can enable this connection to execute read commands on the replica node.

+In standalone mode, by default, clients accessing a replica node can execute read queries, (which might read stale data) without entering readonly mode.

+Since Valkey 8.0, if a client in standalone mode uses the `CLIENT CAPA redirect` command to declare its capability to handle redirections, then the replica node will send redirection messages to the client when executing both read and write commands. The client must issue the `READONLY` command to enter readonly mode before it can execute read commands.
