FE-018: `apiCache.ts` has no TTL eviction — cache grows unbounded in SPA sessions

[Dev-Zully]

Category: Bug · Priority: Medium
Labels: frontend, api, memory

The apiCache module stores API responses in memory but has no time-to-live (TTL) eviction policy. In long-running SPA sessions (common for portfolio monitoring tools), the cache grows indefinitely.

Acceptance Criteria:

• Add a configurable TTL (default 5 minutes for analyze results)
• Implement LRU eviction with a max cache size (e.g. 100 entries)
• Expose a clearCache() function for manual invalidation
