This concept summarizes Phase 1 of the Sage Utils implementation, focused on early initialization and shared cache improvements.

Completed work

• Added js/shared/dataCache.js for centralized global caching and preloading.
• Integrated background preload into js/sage.js so the sidebar can register immediately.
• Updated js/sidebar/cacheSidebar.js and js/sidebar/imageGalleryTab.js to reuse the shared cache.
• Introduced consistent cache keys such as cacheHash, cacheInfo, and galleryImages:<folder>.
• Added TTL-based invalidation and optional debug metrics for cache hits, misses, and eviction.

Benefits

• Faster sidebar startup by decoupling load-time UI registration from data preload.
• Reduced redundant API calls and repeated model metadata loads.
• Better shared cache across tabs and sidebar reloads.
• Clearer caching behavior for notes, input, output, and custom gallery paths.

Testing expectations

• Cold start should preload data in the background without blocking UI.
• Warm reloads should use cache hits and avoid redundant fetches.
• Manual refresh should invalidate stale data cleanly.
• Cache metrics should report hits, misses, and hit rate reliably.
