Module scope_cache 

(tenant, role) → HashSet<CollectionId> visibility cache.

Computed once per (tenant, role) tuple and reused for the 60-second TTL window. Invalidated explicitly on:

• GRANT / REVOKE
• CREATE POLICY / DROP POLICY (and policy attach/detach)
• DROP COLLECTION

Why a separate cache from PermissionCache: PermissionCache answers “does (resource, action) match for this user?” and is keyed by UserId. The AI pipeline needs the inverse — “what collections is this caller allowed to see?” — keyed by (tenant, role) so two users that share a tenant + role share the cache slot. A 60s TTL is tight enough that policy churn becomes visible within one minute even if an explicit invalidation was missed; the explicit invalidations still fire on every relevant mutation so the common case is zero staleness.

The cache exposes hit/miss counters so the AuthCache::stats() probe required by issue #119 can be wired into the runtime metrics plane.

Structs

AuthCache

Visible-collections cache. Thread-safe; cheaply cloneable through an enclosing Arc. Construction uses Default::default() so the cache can sit on AuthStore without extra plumbing.

AuthCacheStats

Hit/miss/invalidate counters surfaced by AuthCache::stats().

ScopeKey

Cache key — (tenant, role). None tenant = platform tenant.

Constants

DEFAULT_TTL

Default TTL for a visible_collections cache entry.
