Conversation
… instrumentation (#387) First measured, low-risk block of the caching overhaul (steps 1-3 of #387). Step 3 — QueryCache refactor: - Single selected backend per request (APCu when available+enabled, else file). set() no longer force-writes to both stores; get()/delete() touch only the selected backend. flush() still clears both (maintenance op, avoids resurrecting pre-upgrade dual-written entries). - O(1) namespace invalidation via generation counters: the storage key embeds the namespace's current generation, so ContentCache::booksChanged()/homeContentChanged() bump a counter instead of scanning APCUIterator+glob. Unknown prefixes keep the legacy scan. Counters init to time() and bump monotonically, so a lost counter can never resurrect stale entries. - APCu-backed stampede sentinel (apcu_add) on the APCu hot path — no filesystem lock when the value lives in APCu; the file backend keeps the original flock/F008 path verbatim. - Security invariants preserved: file cache keeps unserialize(allowed_classes=false) + expiry check; pinakes_ key isolation kept. Step 1 — instrumentation: QueryCache::stats() returns {backend, gets, hits, misses, hit_ratio} from per-request integer counters (no allocation/logging per call). No index.php wiring yet — a later PR surfaces it in an admin/debug endpoint. Step 2 — OPcache guidance only (php.ini.recommended, no runtime change): removed opcache.fast_shutdown (no-op since PHP 7.2); documented why validate_timestamps=0 needs deploy-side invalidation; JIT left off (DB/IO-bound workload); 128/10000 kept with a note to raise only on opcache_get_status() saturation. Upgrade-safe: no migration, no new config, no new extension. Non-namespaced keys hash identically to before (cache survives upgrade); namespaced keys miss once and stale files are reclaimed by gc()/APCu TTL. Known trade-off (single backend): a server with APCu in FPM but not CLI no longer partially propagates invalidations across that boundary — already the case with the old APCu-first read, bounded by the short data TTLs, and availability stays live outside the cache. New tests/querycache-backend-and-generation.unit.php (30 checks): round-trip, TTL expiry, remember-once, single-backend evidence, generation invalidation (unrelated namespace survives), object-payload rejection, stats deltas. Fails by design on the pre-refactor code. Full unit suite 137/137. Redis and edge/full-page cache are deferred to later PRs pending the numbers (#387).

… + scheduled GC (#387) Harden the QueryCache refactor so the single-backend rule cannot introduce cross-SAPI staleness, and reclaim the files that generation invalidation orphans. - Generation counters are now ALWAYS file-backed (not the selected data backend) and memoized per request. PHP-FPM (APCu) and CLI (apc.enable_cli off) therefore observe the same generation, so an invalidation from either SAPI is honored by the other — one shared file, at most one read per namespace per request. - currentGeneration()/mutateGenerationFile()/readGenerationFile() take shared/ exclusive flocks and write atomically (ftruncate+fwrite+fflush); a lost counter re-initializes monotonically (max(cur+1, time())) so stale entries can't resurrect. - delete() now reaches both stores when this SAPI has APCu, preserving web->CLI invalidation coherence while data writes stay single-backend. - APCu stampede sentinel gains a per-caller random token released via apcu_cas() (fallback: fetch-compare), so an expired/reacquired successor lock is never deleted by the previous owner; plus a post-acquire double-check to cut duplicate callbacks. - Scheduled file-cache GC (maybeGc, once/hour, non-blocking lock, marker written before the sweep to avoid a GC storm on fatal): generation bumps leave old filenames unreachable, so TTL alone would never remove them. GC now takes the same exclusive lock as writers so an in-progress truncate isn't misread as corruption and unlinks while still holding the lock. New tests/querycache-apcu-backend.unit.php (10 checks) exercises the APCu path via an in-process double, re-executing under apc.enable_cli=1 when the real extension is present but CLI-disabled. Generation suite widened to 36 checks. Full unit suite 138/138, PHPStan clean, soft-delete guard clean.
…ly (#387) Address a CodeRabbit note: "off by default" is not enough — opcache.jit_buffer_size defaults to a non-zero value on some builds (notably PHP 8.4+), which reserves JIT memory even with opcache.jit unset. Set both directives explicitly to disabled.

…iew F1, #387) mutateGenerationFile() previously did ftruncate(0) BEFORE fwrite on the counter file: a truncate-success/write-fail (rare I/O error) left it empty, so the next currentGeneration() re-initialized to time() — which can be LOWER than a generation that had climbed above wall-clock, making TTL-live entries stored under an earlier generation reachable again (stale serve of invalidated cache). Make the write atomic: serialize writers on a dedicated persistent sibling lock file (<counter>.lock, never unlinked — an flock on the counter itself would race because rename() swaps the inode), then publish via replaceGenerationFile() which writes to <counter>.tmp.<pid>.<seq> (monotonic seq, no time/random per the codebase rule), fwrite full-length + fflush + fsync, chmod 0660, then atomic rename() over the counter path. On any failure the temp is unlinked and the PREVIOUS counter file is left untouched — a failed write can no longer wipe it. Readers see either the old or the new complete inode, never empty/partial. gc() skips .tmp.* (unless mtime > 300s) and the pinakes_gen_*.lock files so neither is mistaken for a cache entry or split-brains the writer lock. Preserves max($current+1,time()) monotonicity, allowed_classes=false, the pinakes_gen_ scheme, and initialize-if-missing race-safety. New checks 37-40 in querycache-backend-and-generation.unit.php prove the on-disk counter is always a complete valid payload, strictly monotonic, leaves no .tmp residue, and — via a deterministic write-failure simulation — that a failed write keeps the previous value intact. Gen suite 40/40, apcu 10/10, full suite 138/138, PHPStan clean.
