getGlobalSettings() runs a SELECT * on every call and is hit from 22 files, including the auth middleware (every authenticated request), the WebSocket upgrade handler (every connection), and the debug-mode gate (every diagnostic log line). Cache the result inside the service on first read and invalidate on updateGlobalSetting(). The cached snapshot is Object.freeze'd and the public return type is now Readonly<Record<string, string>> so accidental mutations are caught at compile time. The settings GET handler that delete'd private keys now takes a defensive shallow copy first. The 5-second TTL cache in utils/debug.ts is now redundant and removed; the service-level cache is strictly fresher (invalidates on write rather than going stale for up to 5s).

Quick Start
services:
sencho:
image: saelix/sencho:latest
container_name: sencho
restart: unless-stopped
ports:
- "1852:1852"
volumes:
- /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
- ./data:/app/data
# 1:1 Compose Path Rule: host path MUST match container path
- /opt/docker:/opt/docker
environment:
- COMPOSE_DIR=/opt/docker
- DATA_DIR=/app/data
docker compose up -d
Then open http://your-server:1852 and create your admin account.
