# Implementer — F-027 Caching layer with explicit contracts ## Summary Implemented cache module with read-through pattern, explicit contracts (key pattern, TTL, invalidation, source of truth) and metrics. In-memory adapter serves v1; Redis adapter can be added later without changing callers. ## Files changed - `project/src/modules/cache/**` - `project/src/app/build-app.ts` ## Acceptance evidence - AC1 contracts documented: `cache-service.test.ts` verifies that the registered contract carries key pattern, TTL, source and invalidation fields; route exposes `/cache/contracts`. - AC2 invalidation: `CacheService.invalidateByName` increments invalidations counter. - AC3 Redis-down fallback: service swallows `set` errors after loader returns and increments miss counter. - AC4 metrics: `/cache/metrics` returns hits/misses/invalidations/hitRatio. ## Commands run - `cd project && npm run lint/typecheck/build/test` passed - `cd project && TEST_DATABASE_URL='postgres://mdv:mdv_dev_only@localhost:5432/mdv_test' npm run test:integration -- migrations.itest` passed; 14 files, 53 tests - `./scripts/verify.sh` passed ## Notes - No new runtime dependency. - `invalidateByName` uses fragment-based invalidation on the in-memory adapter; a real Redis adapter can use SCAN.
