cache_policy.rs

//! The one derivation of `cache_policy` → response headers (R749-T1, R749-B4).
//!
//! `cache_policy` is declared once by the author and has to mean the same thing
//! at every place bytes leave the system. There are three:
//!
//! | consumer | what it does with the derived value |
//! |---|---|
//! | `mesofact serve` / the W272 bundle tier | axum middleware stamps it on the response ([`crate::cache_policy`] via `mesofact::cache_headers`) |
//! | `mesofact proxy` | the in-process [`ResponseCache`](crate::ResponseCache) holds entries for `ttl` |
//! | `mesofact publish` | the `html/` object's `Cache-Control` at PUT time (`mesofact_publisher::publish`) |
//!
//! This module is the shared half so those cannot drift. It lives in
//! `mesofact-core` rather than in the facade because the publisher crate is
//! *below* the facade in the dep graph (`mesofact` → `mesofact-publisher` →
//! `mesofact-core`), so a table defined in the facade is unreachable from the
//! publish path — which is exactly how the publish tier ended up picking
//! `Cache-Control` by path prefix and dropping the declaration (R749-B4).
//!
//! | declared | emitted |
//! |---|---|
//! | `ttl: N` | `Cache-Control: public, max-age=N` |
//! | `swr: N` | `, stale-while-revalidate=N` |
//! | `vary: [h, …]` | `Vary: h, …` |
//! | `negative_ttl: N` | `Cache-Control: public, max-age=N` **on 404/410 only** |
//! | `requires: [...]` | `private` instead of `public`, on every one of the above |
//!
//! That last row is not decoration. A route behind an auth gate whose response
//! carries `public` is a cache-poisoning bug — a shared cache would serve one
//! user's rendered page to the next. The declaration that the route is gated
//! and the declaration of how long it may be held are the same author's two
//! sentences about one route; reading them together is the minimum honest
//! interpretation.
//!
//! The byte-for-byte twin on the edge is
//! `packages/mesofact-edge/src/cache-policy.ts`, and the two are held to the
//! same fixture by `tests/fixtures/cache-policy/parity.json`.
