sencho/backend/src/services/CacheService.ts

/**
 * CacheService: a single in-process cache for the entire backend.
 *
 * Design goals (see plans/caching-strategy-audit.md for full context):
 *   - TTL-based entries. Entries expire after a configured ms window.
 *   - Inflight deduplication: concurrent getOrFetch() calls for the same key
 *     share one in-flight Promise, preventing thundering-herd on cache miss.
 *   - Stale-on-error fallback: if fetcher() rejects while a stale value
 *     exists, return the stale value (and count it as a "stale" hit).
 *   - Namespaced stats: per-namespace hit / miss / stale counters for
 *     observability, surfaced via /api/system/cache-stats.
 *   - Key conventions: use "namespace:subkey" for per-entity caches
 *     (e.g. "stats:1" for nodeId=1). Stats are aggregated by namespace.
 *   - Safety cap: a hard limit on total entries as a defense-in-depth
 *     guard against unbounded growth. Default 1000 entries; each cache
 *     used in Sencho is bounded by construction (singleton or per-nodeId).
 *
 * Non-goals:
 *   - LRU eviction. All current callers have bounded keyspaces.
 *   - Persistence. Caches are rebuilt on process restart.
 *   - Cross-process sync. Sencho runs single-process per instance.
