 - **Compressed sessions**: `session.data` is stored Brotli-compressed by default, as `dataBr` + `dataBytes` on the record, the same scheme LambderDdbCache and LambderDdbIdempotency use (one shared implementation). A session that caches roles, permissions or product lists shrinks 2-3x and stays within one DynamoDB read unit for longer. `session.compression` is `true` by default (the same as `{ minBytes: 0 }`: every record compressed); `false` turns it off and `{ minBytes }` compresses only from that JSON size. Records written under either setting read back, so it can be switched on or off on a live table.
 
+- **One compression option everywhere**: `LambderDdbCache`, `LambderDdbIdempotency` and sessions take the same `compression` option (`true` for that store's defaults, `false` for off, `{ minBytes, quality }` to override), resolved by one shared function, and each store records a value's encoding so the option can be switched on or off on a live table. Defaults keep the previous behavior: the cache compresses everything, the idempotency store from 1KB. `compressionQuality` on the cache and idempotency store is replaced by `compression: { quality }`, and HTTP `compression` accepts `true` as `{ minBytes: 860 }`.

 - **Rate-limit budgets**: a policy's `budget` is `"perApi"` (default: each referencing API gets its own counter, so the numbers are a per-API ceiling and three APIs on a 60/min policy allow one IP 180/min in total) or `"perPolicy"` (one counter shared by every API referencing the policy). The policy is the group, and two separate shared budgets are two policies.

 Preflight input slices (guard `apiInput`/`guardInput` values, rate-limit `apiInput` keys) answer a rejection through the same path as the API's own schema: `setApiInputValidationErrorHandler` when set, otherwise the standard 422 body. One failure, one shape, whichever schema rejected it.
 
-**Idempotency semantics**: the client sends an `idempotencyKey` per call (see LambderCaller below); generate it once per logical operation with `LambderCaller.createIdempotencyKey()` and reuse it on retries. Keys must be 16-200 characters and UNGUESSABLE random (shorter keys refuse with 400): on session APIs the scope is session + API name + key, and on public APIs it is the key itself + API name, deliberately NOT the client IP, because the retry idempotency exists for (a timeout followed by a network switch) frequently arrives from a new IP. Concurrent duplicates of an in-flight request refuse with 409, repeats of a completed one replay the stored response verbatim until the TTL (response headers included, so headers set via `res.setHeader`/`res.addHeader` replay too), and a crashed original releases its claim so a retry actually retries. The replay rule for failures: RESPONSES are stored and replayed, refusals returned as envelopes (`res.api(null, { errorMessage })`) and thrown responses (`res.die.*`) included; EXCEPTIONS are not, so a thrown `LambderApiError`/`refuse()` releases the claim and a retry re-executes and decides afresh. Stored bodies of 1KB or more are Brotli-compressed (the same scheme as LambderDdbCache; `compressionQuality` on the store, default 5): JSON envelopes typically shrink 5-10x, which cuts DynamoDB write cost, and the ~350KB item budget applies to the COMPRESSED bytes, so even large responses usually stay replayable. Responses with status ≥ 500, bodies over the budget even compressed, and responses that set cookies are never stored (replaying one request's Set-Cookie, e.g. session tokens, into another would be wrong; such APIs still get in-flight 409 dedupe, just not replays). Claims are owner-checked, so an original that stalls past the pending window can no longer overwrite or delete the claim a retry has since taken. Requests without a key execute normally.

 Also enforced at registration: **duplicate API names throw** (dispatch is first-match, so a second registration of the same name would be silently dead code).
 
 ### DynamoDB Cache (LambderDdbCache)
 
-Standalone, persistent JSON cache backed by a DynamoDB table (`pk`/`sk` keys + `expiresAt` TTL attribute, same shape as the session table). Items are prefixed `CACHE#<namespace>#`, and the rate limiter (`RL#`) and idempotency store (`IDEM#`) prefix theirs too, so all three non-session systems can share one table without collisions; keep sessions in their own table for IAM scoping. Brotli-compressed values, in-memory LRU layer, single-flight deduplication, a DynamoDB lease so only one Lambda fills a missing key, and fail-open semantics. Server-only. **Full guide with table setup: [docs/DDB_CACHE.md](./docs/DDB_CACHE.md).**
