Description

Currently waves added to the wave cache are not locked, so code that obtains a reference can change it.

Generally when adding waves to the wave cache the wave and all dependent waves (from wave ref waves) should be locked to ensure cache consistency.

Research direction

Locate the code that adds waves to the wave cache and handles dependent waves from wave ref waves. Read the existing locking behavior and determine how cache references can modify waves. Done means the cached wave and all dependent waves are locked when added, preserving cache consistency.
