"""
High-performance AST caching system for markdown documents.

This module provides intelligent caching of Abstract Syntax Trees (AST) to achieve
the performance goal of cache loading < 50% of original markdown parsing time.

Key Features:
- Automatic cache invalidation based on file modification time
- Fast JSON-based serialization/deserialization
- Transparent cache management with fallback to parsing
- Performance monitoring and validation

Architecture:
    Source File → Parse → AST Cache → Fast Retrieval

        Cache loading must be < 50% of original parsing time
