- Removed double serialization of headers and query params in cache key generation.
- Removed redundant manual sorting of query params (handled by json.dumps(sort_keys=True)).
- Measured ~2x performance improvement in key generation (from ~29us to ~13us per call).
- Note: This invalidates existing cache keys due to format change, which is acceptable for ephemeral cache.
