🚀 CacheBolt v0.5.0 — Client-Controlled Cache Bypass

✨ New Features

• Header-based Cache Bypass
  Clients can now force bypass of all cache layers by including either of the following headers:
  • Cache-Control: no-cache
  • X-Bypass-Cache: true
    When present:
  • The cache is skipped (no memory or backend read).
  • The response is still stored unless explicitly disabled.
  • Useful for debugging, cache revalidation, or time-sensitive requests.

📈 Observability

• Added log:
  ⏩ Cache bypass activated for '/path' due to client header
• New Prometheus metric:
  cachebolt_bypass_cache_total

🛠️ Internal Improvements

• Normalized ignored_headers now includes bypass-related headers to avoid polluting cache keys:
  • cache-control
  • x-bypass-cache
  • x-refresh-cache
