+
+# "use cache" Directive
+
+Function-level caching for async server functions and RSC components. Caches
+return values with TTL + stale-while-revalidate. Complementary to the route-level
+`cache()` DSL and build-time `Static()`/`Prerender()`.
+
+## Basic Usage
+
+### File-level (all exports cached with default profile)
+
+```typescript
+"use cache";
+
+export async function getProducts() {
+  return await db.query("SELECT * FROM products");
+}
+
+export async function getCategories() {
+  return await db.query("SELECT * FROM categories");
+}
+```
+
+### Function-level (per-function profile)
+
+```typescript
+export async function getProducts() {
+  "use cache: short";
+  return await db.query("SELECT * FROM products");
+}
+
+export async function getCategories() {
+  "use cache: long";
+  return await db.query("SELECT * FROM categories");
+}
+```
+
+### RSC component
+
+```typescript
+export async function ProductCard({ id }: { id: string }) {
+  "use cache: products"
+  const product = await db.query('SELECT * FROM products WHERE id = ?', [id]);
+  return <div>{product.name}</div>;
+}
+```
+
+## Named Cache Profiles
+
+Define profiles in createRouter. Profile names map to `"use cache: <name>"` and
+`cache('<name>')` in the DSL.
+
+```typescript
+createRouter({
+  cacheProfiles: {
+    default: { ttl: 900, swr: 1800 },
+    short: { ttl: 60, swr: 120 },
+    long: { ttl: 3600, swr: 7200 },
+    products: { ttl: 300, swr: 600, tags: ["products"] },
+  },
+});
+```
+
+- `"use cache"` (no name) resolves to `default`.
+- `"use cache: short"` resolves to the `short` profile.
+- Unknown profile names throw at build/boot time.
+
+## Cache Key
+
+```
+use-cache:{functionId}:{serializedArgs}
+```
+
+- `functionId` -- stable ID from Vite transform (module path + export name).
+- `serializedArgs` -- non-tainted arguments serialized via RSC `encodeReply()`.
+
+Different functions always produce different cache keys, even for the same route.
+This is important for intercepted routes -- the path handler and intercept handler
+each have their own `functionId` and therefore their own cache entries.
+
+## Tainted Arguments (ctx, env, req)
+
+Request-scoped objects are branded with `Symbol.for('rango:nocache')` at creation.
+When detected:
+
+1. **Excluded from cache key** -- request-scoped, not meaningful for keying.
+2. **Handle data captured on miss** -- side effects via `ctx.use(Handle)` are recorded.
+3. **Handle data replayed on hit** -- restored into the current request's HandleStore.
+
+```typescript
+export async function getProductData(ctx) {
+  "use cache: short";
+  const breadcrumb = ctx.use(Breadcrumbs);
+  breadcrumb({ label: "Products", href: "/products" });
+  return await db.query("SELECT * FROM products");
+}
+// On hit: return value restored, breadcrumb replayed.
+```
+
+## Request-Scoped Guards
+
+### Read Guards
+
+`cookies()` and `headers()` **throw** inside a `"use cache"` function because
+per-request values (cookies, headers) are not reflected in the cache key. Without
+this guard, one user's data would be served to another.
+
+Extract the value before the cached function and pass it as an argument:
+
+```typescript
+const locale = cookies().get("locale")?.value ?? "en";
+const data = await getCachedData(locale); // locale is now in the cache key
+```
+
+### Side-Effect Guards
+
+These ctx methods **throw** inside a `"use cache"` function because their effects
+are lost on cache hit (the function body is skipped):
+
+- `ctx.set()` / `ctx.get()` for passing values to children
+- `ctx.header()`
+- `ctx.setTheme()`
+- `ctx.setLocationState()`
+- `ctx.onResponse()`
+
+The error message recommends two alternatives:
+
+1. Extract the data fetch into a separate cached function and call ctx methods outside it.
+2. Use the route-level `cache()` DSL which caches all segments together.
+
+**`ctx.use(Handle)` is NOT guarded** -- handle push is captured on miss and replayed
+on hit. This is the correct way to pass data from cached functions.
+
+### Pattern: Separate cached function from ctx side effects
+
+```typescript
+// Cached data fetch (pure)
+async function getNavData() {
+  "use cache: short"
+  return await db.query('SELECT * FROM nav_items');
+}
+
+// Handler (uncached, calls ctx methods freely)
+async function NavLayout(ctx) {
+  const navData = await getNavData();
+  ctx.set("navItems", navData);  // Works -- outside "use cache"
+  return <Nav items={navData}><Outlet /></Nav>;
+}
+```
+
+## Misuse Guards
+
+### Cannot use as middleware
+
+Cached functions cannot be passed to `middleware()`. Middleware runs on every
+request (onion model) and must not be cached.
+
+```typescript
+// WRONG -- throws at boot time
+middleware(cachedFn);
+
+// RIGHT -- call cached function inside middleware
+middleware(async (ctx, next) => {
+  const data = await getCachedData();
+  ctx.set("data", data);
+  await next();
+});
+```
+
+### Cannot use as Static() handler
+
+Static handlers render once at build time. `"use cache"` is redundant.
+
+```typescript
+// WRONG -- throws at boot time
+export const Page = Static(cachedFn);
+
+// RIGHT -- remove "use cache", Static already caches
+export const Page = Static(async (ctx) => {
+  return <div>Built once</div>;
+});
+```
+
+### Cannot use as Prerender() handler or getParams
+
+Prerender handlers render at build time. `"use cache"` is redundant.
+
+```typescript
+// WRONG -- throws at boot time (handler)
+export const Page = Prerender(getParams, cachedFn);
+
+// WRONG -- throws at boot time (getParams)
+export const Page = Prerender(cachedGetParams, handler);
+
+// RIGHT -- remove "use cache"
+export const Page = Prerender(
+  async () => [{ slug: "a" }],
+  async (ctx) => <Page slug={ctx.params.slug} />,
+);
+```
+
+## Performance: waitUntil
+
+On cache miss, the function executes and the result is serialized inline (blocking).
+The cache **store write** (`setItem`) is deferred to `waitUntil` and does NOT block
+the response.
+
+On stale hit, stale data is returned immediately. Background revalidation (re-execute
+
+- store) runs entirely inside `waitUntil`.
+
+| Phase                                | Blocks response? |
+| ------------------------------------ | ---------------- |
+| Function execution (miss)            | Yes              |
+| Result serialization (miss)          | Yes              |
+| Cache store write (miss)             | No (waitUntil)   |
+| Stale value return (stale hit)       | No (immediate)   |
+| Background revalidation (stale)      | No (waitUntil)   |
+| Cache lookup + deserialization (hit) | Yes (fast)       |
+
+## Using with Loaders
+
+`"use cache"` works inside loaders. The loader runs every request, but the inner
+cached function returns cached data:
+
+```typescript
+// Cached data function
+export async function getProductData(slug: string) {
+  "use cache";
+  return await db.query("SELECT * FROM products WHERE slug = ?", [slug]);
+}
+
+// Loader runs every request, but inner call is cached
+export const ProductLoader = createLoader(async (ctx) => {
+  return getProductData(ctx.params.slug);
+});
+```
+
+## Using with Intercepted Routes
+
+Path handlers and intercept handlers have different `functionId` values from the
+Vite transform, so they naturally get distinct cache entries even for the same URL:
+
+```typescript
+// Path handler -- cached separately
+path("/product/:id", async (ctx) => {
+  "use cache"
+  return <FullProductPage id={ctx.params.id} />;
+}),
+
+// Intercept handler -- cached separately (different functionId)
+intercept("@modal", ".product", async (ctx) => {
+  "use cache"
+  return <ProductModal id={ctx.params.id} />;
+}),
+```
+
+## Vite Transform
+
+The `rango:use-cache` Vite plugin detects the directive and wraps exports with
+`registerCachedFunction()`:
+
+```typescript
+// Input
+"use cache"
+export async function getProducts() { ... }
+
+// Output
+import { registerCachedFunction } from '@rangojs/router/cache-runtime';
+export const getProducts = registerCachedFunction(
+  async function getProducts() { ... },
+  "src/data/products.ts#getProducts",
+  "default"
+);
+```
+
+Function-level directives are hoisted:
+
+```typescript
+// Input
+export async function getProducts() {
+  "use cache: short";
+  return await db.query("...");
+}
+
+// Output
+const __rango_cached_getProducts = registerCachedFunction(
+  async function getProducts() {
+    return await db.query("...");
+  },
+  "src/data/products.ts#getProducts",
+  "short",
+);
+export async function getProducts() {
+  return __rango_cached_getProducts();
+}
+```
+
+## Backing Store
+
+Writes to the same `SegmentCacheStore` as `cache()` DSL, `Static()`, and `Prerender()`.
+One store, one configuration, one invalidation API. Tag-based invalidation
+(`revalidateTag`) works across all mechanisms.
+
+## Interaction with Other Caching
+
+| Mechanism          | Granularity        | When       | Use case                                        |
+| ------------------ | ------------------ | ---------- | ----------------------------------------------- |
+| `"use cache"`      | Function/component | Runtime    | Cache individual data fetches or components     |
+| `cache()` DSL      | Route segment      | Runtime    | Cache entire route subtrees with children       |
+| `cache('profile')` | Route segment      | Runtime    | Same as cache() with a named profile            |
+| `Static()`         | Route segment      | Build-time | Render once, never re-render                    |
+| `Prerender()`      | Route segment      | Build-time | Pre-render known params, optional live fallback |
+
+## Dev Mode
+
+In development, the Vite transform still wraps functions, but the cache store is
+a `MemorySegmentCacheStore` that works locally. Functions cache normally in dev
+for testing cache behavior.
