//! Active prompt-cache breakpoint injection (#939, Headroom "cache aligner"
//! adjacent).
//!
//! Anthropic's prompt cache is opt-in per request: the client marks a
//! `cache_control: {type:"ephemeral"}` breakpoint and Anthropic caches the
//! prefix up to it (billing later turns at the cached rate). A raw API client
//! that does *not* set one pays full price for its (large, stable) system prompt
//! on every single turn. This module injects exactly one breakpoint on the
//! `system` field for those clients, so the proxy delivers the cache win the
//! client left on the table.
//!
//! ## Anthropic-only by construction
//! `cache_control` is an Anthropic concept. OpenAI Chat Completions and the
//! Responses API cache prefixes **automatically** (no per-request markers; an
//! injected `cache_control` would be ignored at best), so there is nothing to
//! inject there — those paths rely on OpenAI's implicit caching and are left
//! byte-unchanged. This module therefore wires into the Anthropic path only.
//!
//! ## Safety
//! - **Only when the client set none.** The caller gates on
//!   `cached_prefix_len(messages) == 0` and `!prose::value_has_cache_control(system)`,
//!   so we never add a *second* breakpoint (Anthropic caps them at 4) or move a
//!   client anchor.
//! - **Exactly one**, on `system` — the largest, most stable prefix, fixed at
//!   the very start, so it never churns with the prune boundary.
//! - **Deterministic** (#498): a pure function of the body, so the rewritten
//!   request is byte-identical across turns and the cache prefix it creates is
//!   itself stable.
//! - **Min size.** Below Anthropic's minimum cacheable prefix the marker is
//!   ignored, so we skip tiny system prompts to avoid pointless churn.

/// (the documented way to make a string system prompt cacheable); an array gets
/// the marker on its last block. Returns `false` when there is no `system`, it
/// is too small to be cached, or it already carries a breakpoint (defensive —
