asmhatre 66208bcd97 Add caching: the Spring cache abstraction, keys, eviction timing and the self-invocation trap
A Spring Boot 4.1.1 module whose test suite is the evidence for the article: 19 tests
producing 22 transcripts under docs/output/, plus 12 documentation chapters.

Findings the build pins:
- @EnableCaching has no exposeProxy attribute; the widely-copied
  @EnableCaching(exposeProxy = true) does not compile.
- Two methods sharing a cache name and an argument type share a key space, and one
  silently serves the other's answers.
- beforeInvocation = true is NOT deferred by TransactionAwareCacheManagerProxy on
  7.0.9 - doEvict picks evictIfPresent, which the decorator does not intercept.
- Four of five invalid declarations start a clean context and throw at the first call.
- Caffeine on the classpath silently displaces the simple provider.

# Caching an entity caches a detached object, lazy proxies and all
loadEntity(1) -> Alice (com.ankurm.caching.jpa.Customer)
database loads: 1
second call returns the same instance? true
database loads: 1
--- touching the lazy collection outside the session ---
org.hibernate.LazyInitializationException
Cannot lazily initialize collection of role 'com.ankurm.caching.jpa.Customer.orders' with key '1' (no session)
This is the line between the two caches. Hibernate's second-level cache
stores dehydrated entity state and rebuilds a managed entity inside a
session, so lazy associations still work. The Spring cache abstraction
stores the object your method returned, exactly as it was when the
transaction ended - detached, with whatever its proxies were holding.
