//! # Stage: SemanticDedup
//!
//! ## Responsibility
//! Fingerprint incoming text (prompts/requests) and return cached results for
//! near-duplicate inputs within a configurable TTL window. This catches
//! copy-paste duplicates, minor reformatting, extra whitespace, and
//! capitalization differences with zero external dependencies.
//!
//! ## Guarantees
//! - Deterministic: same normalized text always produces the same fingerprint
//! - Thread-safe when wrapped in `Mutex` / `RwLock` by the caller
//! - Bounded: at most `capacity` entries are held at any time (LRU eviction)
//! - Non-panicking: no `unwrap` or `expect` in any production path
//! - TTL-based expiry is evaluated lazily on every `check()` call
//!
//! ## NOT Responsible For
//! - Semantic similarity beyond exact normalized-string matching
//! - Cross-process or distributed deduplication
//! - Persistence (in-memory only)
