4-Layer Query Cache
===================
Layer 1 β€” Exact hash cache : SHA-256(normalized_query) β†’ answer (<5ms)
Layer 2 β€” Semantic cache : embed(query) β†’ cosine search in Redis (<50ms)
Layer 3 β€” Anthropic prompt : handled in synthesizer.py via cache_control
Layer 4 β€” Full RAG pipeline : fallback, result stored back into L1+L2
Accuracy guarantee:
- Cached answers only served when similarity >= CACHE_SIMILARITY_THRESHOLD
- Answers only stored when confidence >= CACHE_MIN_CONFIDENCE
- Legal content TTL = 48h (GST/tax rules change; stale answers are dangerous)
