BASE 44 ORDER: Implement breakthrough phase cache with 132s TTL and vacuum timer — E8 Intelligence Research

Abstract

Andrew's order (Base 44 console): [SELF-BUILD from enhancement #1130] Add breakthrough_phase_cache table with phase_bucket, payload, created_at. In agent, compute hash(id)%240 before LLM call. On miss, store response with 132s TTL. Add systemd timer for vacuum every 132s. Modify lookup to query cache first. MERLIN: Understood. You want a new `breakthrough_phase_cache` table with phase_bucket, payload, and created_at. The agent will compute hash(id)%240 before each LLM call, store the response with a 132-second TTL on cache miss, and query the cache first on subsequent lookups. I will also set up a systemd timer to vacuum the table every 132 seconds. The swarm will now build the table schema, modify the agent's lookup logic, and deploy the timer.
