"""AH-25: sharded per-node KV cache for distributed generation.
Covers the SessionCacheStore (TTL + LRU + mismatch handling), the HTTP
session protocol (stable session id, O(1) decode payloads, 409 cache-miss
fallback, legacy stateless compatibility), and an env-gated golden test that
proves cached and stateless distributed generation produce identical tokens
on a real two-shard Qwen2.5-0.5B split.
