Resources are announced to the client in Link headers on a 103 early hint response. All responses with status code <400 are inspected for Link header and trigger pushes accordingly. 304 still does prevent pushes. 'H2PushResource' can mark resources as 'critical' which gives them higher priority than the main resource.
