WalkthroughThe PR adds shared semantic caching to ChangesSemantic response caching
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to The change adds shared semantic-cache reads and writes to both chat paths, but /chat can return cached content before evaluating the current prompt’s safety decision, allowing some refused or guidance-required requests to receive an answer. This is a high-impact merge-readiness risk that should be fixed before merging. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

The
finallyblock is thorough — it restoresget_model,active_chats, the fake embedding, andSAFETY_PIPELINE_ENABLED, and it clears the cache. The comment explaining why safety is disabled (it would flatter the cached arm) is exactly the kind of reasoning that makes a benchmark trustworthy.One gap.
cache.clear()empties the entries but does not resetcache.hits,cache.misses, orcache.bypasses.tests/test_stream_cache.pyline 369 callsrun_benchmarkin-process, so those counters carry into whatever test runs next. Today every counter-asserting test uses thecache_envfixture, which zeroes them at line 144, so nothing fails.

117-122: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 TrivialBoth steps look right. Consider a step timeout for the benchmark.
Gating on the benchmark is the part that makes this durable — a change that quietly stops caching now fails the build instead of passing review, and
--rounds 3 --chunk-delay 0.2gives the assertion sensible headroom.One operational suggestion. The benchmark step starts a uvicorn server in a background thread and drives it over a real socket.
serve()caps startup at 30 s and the httpx client uses a 60 s timeout, so the expected path is bounded. A hang in the server thread or a stuck stream is not bounded, and withouttimeout-minutesthe job inherits GitHub's 6-hour default. That burns runner minutes and delays feedback for every other contributor.Adding
timeout-minutes: 5to this step, or a job-level timeout, keeps a hang cheap.⚙️ Proposed change

218-234: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick winMake the progressive-replay assertion independent of the answer's length.
This test targets the right behaviour — a replay must arrive as several deltas, not one lump. The current assertion depends on an implicit numeric coincidence though.
ANSWER_PROSEis 142 characters andCACHE_REPLAY_CHUNK_CHARSis 120, so the replay produces exactly 2 deltas. The margin is 22 characters. If someone shortensANSWER_PROSE, or raisesCACHE_REPLAY_CHUNK_CHARSto a more typical value such as 256, this test fails even though progressive replay still works correctly. The failure message would point at the cache, not at the constant that actually changed.Deriving the expectation from the constant keeps the test measuring replay behaviour rather than string length.

These three negative tests are the right shape, and pinning
user_idand the confidence band is genuinely valuable. Thank you for asserting the band directly rather than inferring it from a later hit.
cache_eligibleinmain.pyhas eight clauses. These tests coveris_new_chat,user_id, and the confidence band. Four clauses are never exercised, because thecache_envfixture stubs every retriever to returnNone:
context is Nonetafsir_context is Nonezakat_context is Nonepurchase_context is Nonepersonal_context is NoneThose are the clauses that carry real consequences. If one is dropped in a future refactor, the cache would replay an answer built from one user's tafsir passages, wallet balance, purchase history, or personal memory to a different asker. No test in this suite would fail.
Two cheap additions would close the gap: one request carrying
contextassertingX-Semantic-Cache: misson the repeat, and one test that makes a single retriever return a non-Noneobject and asserts the repeat still misses.🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

Run the input gate before the /chat cache decision.
/chat checks the shared cache before safety_pipeline.run_async(). A matching cached response can bypass refusal or guidance handling. The cache-write condition also allows confident allow_with_guidance responses into the shared cache.
Evaluate the input gate before lookup. Pass its action to cache_eligible() and reuse the decision during generation. Add regression tests for refused and guided requests with identical embeddings. Assert that neither request reads from or writes to the shared cache.

The text states four 0.4-second chunks, but python -m scripts.bench_stream_cache uses the script default of 0.25 seconds. CI uses 0.2 seconds. The shown command cannot reproduce the stated setup or measurements.
State the actual parameters used for these values, and include them in the command. Alternatively, update the values to match the default invocation.

Restore the prior fake embedding override.
Line 219 replaces the global embedding override. Line 237 always clears it. If an in-process caller installed a fake vector before this benchmark, later cache requests lose that configuration.
Save the previous override and restore it in finally. Prefer a semantic_cache helper or context manager instead of exposing mutable module state.

…ridge#1) POST /chat/stream never touched the response cache: it neither read from it nor wrote to it, so every repeat question on the streaming path paid a full provider round-trip even when /chat had the answer in memory. The streaming endpoint now uses the same two tiers, the same cache_scope and the same key as /chat. An identical prompt is answered by the exact tier ahead of any embedding; a reworded one falls through to the semantic tier. A hit replays the stored answer as ordinary SSE content deltas with no model call, and a successful stream writes back to both tiers with the token count used for savings tracking. X-Cache-Tier and X-Semantic-Cache report which path served the turn, X-Cache-Bypass forces a generation, and the done event carries "cached". Eligibility is now one predicate shared by both endpoints, so they cannot drift into caching different things, and it closes three gaps: - language and madhhab reshape the answer while leaving the prompt untouched, and the key comes from the prompt alone, so an Arabic or Hanafi-led answer could replay for the same question asked without either. Folding them into the embedded text would not help — two strings differing by a short prefix sit far inside the threshold — so a request carrying either stays out of the cache until there is a variant-keyed store. - new-chat detection came from active_chats, which is empty after a restart and on every other worker, so a resumed conversation looked new and could be answered from cache. The session store now decides, on both endpoints, and its history is reused when seeding the session. - the streaming lookup ran before the input gate, so a prompt the gate would refuse could be served from cache if an allowed phrasing had landed inside the threshold. The gate now runs first and only a plain allow may touch the cache; the generator reuses that decision. Both hit paths build history from the caller's own session rather than the stored copy — a match only has to clear the similarity threshold, so the stored wording can be an earlier asker's — and replay the stored confidence block, so the response shape does not depend on which branch served the turn. Also: cache embedding moved off the event loop, the duplicated history-rendering loop became one function, and the benchmark restores GEMINI_API_KEY as well as SAFETY_PIPELINE_ENABLED. Measured with scripts/bench_stream_cache.py, which serves the real app under uvicorn and drives the route over HTTP against a stub provider streaming four 0.4s chunks: TTFB (ms) total (ms) uncached 408.73 1625.43 cached 9.23 12.24 That is 99.2% off the total and 97.7% off time-to-first-text, against the 50% the issue asks for. The script exits non-zero below --min-reduction (default 50%), and CI runs it, so a regression fails the build. 23 tests drive the real route: both tiers, bypass, cross-endpoint reuse, follow-up context, replayed confidence, and the cases that must never replay — a variant request, a resumed conversation, a refused prompt, and one user's answer reaching another.

What was wrong
POST /chat/streamnever touched the semantic response cache — it neither read from it nor wrote to it. Every repeat question on the streaming path paid a full provider round-trip, even when/chatalready had that exact answer in memory. Streaming was already in place; the cache was already in place; they had simply never been connected.What this does
The streaming endpoint now looks the prompt up before generating. On a hit it replays the stored answer as ordinary SSE
contentdeltas with no model call at all, and after a successful stream it writes the confident, fully shaped answer back — so the first streamed asker warms the cache for everyone after them.The lookup is keyed on the same normalized prompt as
/chat, so an answer cached by either endpoint is served by both.Supporting cleanups, both required by the above:
cache_eligible(), shared by both endpoints — they can no longer drift into caching different things.session_history_messages().Behaviour
X-Semantic-Cache: hit | miss | bypasson every streamed response;X-Cache-Bypass: 1forces a fresh generation, matching/chat.doneevent carries"cached": true | false.chat_id— streamed or not — still has the answer as context. Its history is built from the caller's own session, so a paraphrase match never shows the user someone else's wording of the question.context, nouser_id, no tafsir/zakat/purchase/personal retrieval — and only answers assessed confident, so an abstention or a hedge never outlives the doubt that produced it.Proof it runs

scripts/bench_stream_cache.pyserves the real app under uvicorn on a loopback port and drives the route over HTTP against a stub provider streaming four chunks with a fixed delay each — reproducible and offline, so what is measured is the cache and not the day's Gemini weather. It uses a real socket on purpose: httpx's in-process ASGI transport buffers the whole body, which would collapse TTFB onto total time and report a streaming endpoint as though it did not stream.TTFB is time to the first
contentdelta — when the user actually sees text. The uncached arm sendsX-Cache-Bypass: 1on every request so each one pays a full round-trip; otherwise the "before" figure would be one slow request averaged with several fast ones.The script exits non-zero if the cached arm fails to beat the uncached one by
--min-reduction(default 50%, the issue's target) or if a warm request was not actually served from cache. CI runs it, so a change that quietly stops caching fails the build rather than the review.Against the acceptance criteria
