## 🎯 Quick Reference

### Cache Types

1. **LoRA Hash Cache**: `cache/lora_hash_cache.json` - Stores LoRA model hashes
2. **Gemini Descriptions**: `cache/gemini_descriptions/` - AI-generated descriptions
3. **Browser Cache**: JavaScript/CSS file versioning

### Key Features

- **Persistent Caching**: Long-term storage of expensive computations
- **Cache Busting**: Automatic versioning for JavaScript/CSS updates
- **Verification**: Automated cache integrity checks
- **Optimization**: Performance improvements through smart caching

## 🔧 Cache Management

### Clear Cache

```bash
# Clear LoRA hash cache
rm cache/lora_hash_cache.json

# Clear Gemini description cache
rm -rf cache/gemini_descriptions/*

# Clear browser cache (user action)
# Hard refresh: Ctrl+Shift+R (Windows/Linux) or Cmd+Shift+R (Mac)
```
