Buyer-visible outcome

Adds an optional Redis/Dragonfly-compatible response cache while preserving standalone behavior.

  • Cache keys include normalized model, mode, sampling parameters, and an authenticated bearer-derived partition; prompts, responses, and raw credentials never enter remote keys.
  • HTTP requests derive the partition only after bearer authorization; direct library callers can pass a non-secret cache_partition.
  • Cache reads/writes fail open and X-Cache-Bypass remains strict.
  • Cache hits are reported honestly with zero provider tokens/cost on a dedicated cache ledger channel; they are not rebilled as inference.
  • ADR 0002, doctoring, partition/ledger regressions, and existing cache contract tests are updated.

Exact-head verification

  • Exact HEAD 51df15d78853992cb25fdee900381e2d2cb79be5 — full suite 1451 passed in 545.88s
  • Focused cache/cost/server suite — 28 passed
  • Changed-scope Ruff, compileall, and diff-check — passed

Please review exact current HEAD 51df15d78853992cb25fdee900381e2d2cb79be5 only. Merge only through the protected normal review/check path; no bypass or self-approval.

Review exact current HEAD 9a3c3d01117e64adddabbfe5cd2762ff9aa6e566 only.

The PR is limited to issue #745's optional distributed response cache: injected Redis/Dragonfly-compatible provider, deterministic model/mode/parameter-aware keys, fail-open cache errors, strict X-Cache-Bypass parsing, and standalone local-cache compatibility. Fresh same-head evidence: full suite 1447 passed, focused cache/cost/HTTP suite 31 passed, new response-cache statement/branch/docstring coverage 100%, compileall and diff check passed. Trivy DB refresh could not complete because the host had only 116 MiB free; no source finding was emitted.

Current-head review at 1d819102a85702ce3dc1a3f096bcfb8d3d3c5458:

  • The new cache regressions cover principal partition isolation, one provider execution on a hit, zero usage/cost on cache hits, and cache-ledger attribution.
  • The test is aligned with the existing fail-open cache implementation and exposes no additional source defect in this exact diff. Required Checks and independent approval remain the protected merge gates.

Root cause fixed at exact current HEAD 51df15d: the PR tests required cache_partition and cache_status semantics that the implementation did not provide. The gateway now derives a non-secret authenticated partition, cache hits use zero tokens/cost on the cache ledger channel, and direct cache keys include partition. Fresh exact-worktree evidence: full 1451 passed, focused 28 passed, Ruff/compileall/diff-check passed. Please review this SHA only.

🟡 Cache bypass ignored on non-chat run endpoints

do_POST computes the bypass flag but the /admin/simulate, /api/v1/workflow_runs, and /api/v1/evaluation_runs handlers call orchestrator.run/run_evaluation without it (simulate, workflow_runs, evaluation_runs). With a distributed cache configured, X-Cache-Bypass: true cannot force a fresh run on these endpoints.

Prompt for agents
In server.py do_POST, cache_bypass and cache_partition are computed once (around lines 4950-4951) but are only forwarded to coordinator.complete on the /v1/completions and /v1/chat/completions paths. The /admin/simulate, /api/v1/workflow_runs, and /api/v1/evaluation_runs handlers call orchestrator.run(...) and orchestrator.run_evaluation(...) directly without passing bypass_cache or cache_partition, so a configured distributed cache cannot be bypassed on those endpoints. TaskOrchestrator.run already accepts bypass_cache and cache_partition keyword arguments (and run_evaluation would need to thread them through to its internal run calls). Decide whether these endpoints should honor caching at all; if so, forward bypass_cache and cache_partition consistently; if not, document that they always bypass the cache and pass bypass_cache=True explicitly.

📝 Info: Distributed cache key omits agent-pool identity

build_response_cache_key digests model, mode, messages, parameters, and partition, but not agent-pool composition. Two deployments with different agent pools sharing one Redis namespace can serve each other's cached responses for the same model/prompt. Operators must assign distinct namespace values per deployment; the digest alone does not isolate them.

🟨 Unpartitioned cache reuse across principals on run endpoints

The bearer-derived partition is forwarded to the chat and completions paths but not to the /admin/simulate, /api/v1/workflow_runs, or /api/v1/evaluation_runs handlers, which call orchestrator.run/run_evaluation with no partition (workflow_runs, evaluation_runs). With a distributed cache and multiple principals authenticating through a bearer_verifier, one principal's cached answer for a prompt can be served to another on these endpoints.

🟡 Cache hits still count against the spend budget

On a cache hit, run() persists a workflow run whose trace holds the original output and provider usage. spend_analytics (orchestrator.py) sums tokens over every persisted run, and budget_status/run enforce the budget from that total, so replayed cached answers accrue spend and can raise BudgetExceededError. The cost ledger records these hits at zero, and the persisted cache_status is never read by the spend path.

Prompt for agents
On a cache hit, run() persists a new workflow_run with the cached trace (including the original step output text and any provider-reported usage). spend_analytics() aggregates estimated/reported tokens over self._workflow_runs, and budget_status()/run() enforce the spend budget from that aggregate. As a result, cache hits are counted as real spend and can trip BudgetExceededError, even though the cost ledger correctly records cache hits at zero tokens/cost. The record now carries a cache_status field but spend_analytics ignores it. Consider having spend_analytics()/budget accounting skip (or zero out) runs whose cache_status == 'hit', so replayed cached responses are not re-counted as provider spend consistent with the ledger's cache channel.

🟡 JWT bearer tokens defeat the shared cache

_cache_partition keys the partition on the SHA-256 of the raw bearer token. With a bearer_verifier (OIDC/JWT), the presented token rotates per issuance, so identical requests from one principal land in different partitions and different cache keys. Hits almost never occur and the backend fills with single-use entries.

Prompt for agents
_cache_partition() hashes the raw bearer token to isolate cache entries per principal. This works for static shared tokens (auth_token/inference_token), but when SecurityConfig.bearer_verifier is used with rotating OIDC/JWT bearers, each request may present a different token string, producing a different partition and cache key for otherwise identical requests. That makes the distributed cache almost never hit and accumulate many single-use keys. Consider deriving the partition from a stable principal/subject identity supplied by the verifier (e.g. have bearer_verifier return a stable subject claim) rather than the raw token string, while still keeping raw credentials out of the key.

📝 Info: Strict X-Cache-Bypass parsing spans all POST endpoints

cache_bypass/cache_partition are computed for every POST before path dispatch (server.py), so a malformed X-Cache-Bypass now returns 400 on non-cache endpoints (agent-pool create, /admin/simulate, workflow/evaluation runs) that previously ignored it.

…earer (#844)

* fix: session-cookie requests partition the response cache without a bearer

Merging #772 (distributed cache) with #788 (opaque admin sessions) left a
gap: _cache_partition required a bearer header, so every state-changing
admin POST from a cookie-authenticated operator failed with 401 before any
handler logic ran. An active opaque session id now derives the partition
(random per login, so cross-session reuse stays impossible), and a
regression test locks the flow in.
