+# hooks/_lib/shim-cache.sh — per-session shim cache helper.
+# Introduced 0.48.0.
+#
+# Source via:
+#   source "$(dirname "$0")/_lib/shim-cache.sh"
+#
+# # What this is
+#
+# An OPTIMIZATION layer over `shim_run`'s sandbox check + version
+# probe (steps 5-8 of shim-runtime.sh). When the same shim fires
+# repeatedly in the same Claude Code session against the same CLI on
+# the same project, the answers to "is the CLI inside the sandbox"
+# and "does it implement this subcommand" do not change. The cache
+# records those answers keyed on every input the sandbox check
+# would otherwise re-verify, so subsequent fires can skip straight
+# to the forward step.
+#
+# # What this is NOT
+#
+# A SECURITY boundary. Every cache-miss path falls through to the
+# existing uncached hot path in `shim_run`. Every cache operation is
+# fail-safe — corruption / parse failure / stat failure / hash
+# failure all degrade to a clean miss, NEVER fail-closed. A cached
+# entry that goes stale produces a different key (one of:
+# mtime/size/realpath/euid changed), so the wrong CLI cannot be
+# executed from a poisoned entry.
+#
+# See `docs/shim-session-cache-design.md` for the full security
+# contract (key construction, threat enumeration, invalidation
+# triggers).

+# # Portability — mtime precision
+#
+# 0.48.0 codex round-2 P2: nanosecond precision used uniformly on both
+# platforms. macOS `stat -f %Fm` produces fractional seconds (e.g.
+# `1779052861.082677123`); GNU coreutils `stat -c %.Y` produces the
+# same string shape. Both round to the underlying filesystem's
+# resolution (APFS / ext4 both store ns mtime today). The design memo
+# concern #1 was conditional ("if you can't on one platform, downgrade
+# both") — since both platforms CAN, we use ns and close the
+# same-second-same-size rebuild collision class.
+#
+# `cli_size_bytes` remains in the key as defense-in-depth against
+# nanosecond-truncating filesystems (some FAT/NTFS mounts) — there
+# the second-precision mtime would still discriminate at the cost of
+# the same-second-same-size hole, which is an extreme corner case for
+# a dev tool.
+#
+# # Portability — sha256
+#
+# `shasum -a 256` ships with macOS and most Linux distros (perl
+# bundle). `sha256sum` ships with GNU coreutils on Linux. We try both;
+# if neither is present the cache returns a clean miss (NEVER fails
+# closed).
+#
+# # Disable switch
+#
+# `REA_SHIM_CACHE=0` in env disables both reads and writes (this is
+# what `pnpm perf:hooks` sets so steady-state numbers do not silently
+# improve and mask regressions in the underlying resolve/probe layers).
