feat(llm): implement intelligent Redis caching layer for narratives (fixes #335)

[Diwakar-odds]

Summary

This PR implements an intelligent Redis-based caching layer for LLM narrative generation, significantly reducing redundant LLM API calls and mitigating rate-limit exhaustion for repetitive commits. Fixes #335.

Files Modified

• backend/features/llm_analysis/cache.py (NEW)
• backend/features/llm_analysis/claude_client.py
• backend/features/llm_analysis/router.py
• backend/requirements.txt
• docker-compose.yml

Changes Made

• Redis Cache Abstraction: Added get_cached_narrative and set_cached_narrative utilizing redis.asyncio with deterministic SHA256 cache keys.
• LLM Bypass: Modified claude_client.py and router.py to check the Redis cache prior to database lookups or LLM invocation. Upon cache hit, returns the pre-generated explanation and calculates cost as $0.0.
• Infrastructure: Added a redis container definition to docker-compose.yml and updated backend/requirements.txt with redis>=5.0.0.

Outcode

LLM API costs and request latency are now drastically lowered by retrieving identical analysis batches directly from memory.

Hi @eshaanag! I have implemented the intelligent Redis caching layer for LLM narratives as requested in #335.

Technical Work Done:

• Integrated
  edis.asyncio\ to intercept identical analysis requests based on SHA256 hashes of the commit diffs and metadata.
• Updated \claude_client.py\ and
  outer.py\ to hit the Redis cache prior to querying the database or external APIs, bypassing the slow and expensive network hops.
• Re-architected the \LLMProvider\ tracking to appropriately record \cache\ usage with zero cost implications.
• Added Redis to the local \docker-compose.yml\ and \�ackend/requirements.txt\ for frictionless onboarding.

Because this change introduces an architectural infrastructure component (Redis cache layer) and optimizes core backend performance to drastically reduce API token exhaust, it maps directly to Level 3 (Core/Architecture/Performance).

Could you please assign the \ECSoC26, \Level 3, and \good-backend\ labels? Thank you!
