Description
We allow access to certain fields on the user (email, etc.) only if context[:current_user] == record but this can't currently be used with caching in any reasonable manner.
For now I'm just caching a copy for each user who sees it, but that's absurd and definitely not what we need. Is there a better solution, or would it be possible to get the record inside Resource.attribute_caching_context(context)?

Research direction
Start by reading Resource.attribute_caching_context(context) and tracing how context[:current_user] is used with caching. Compare this with the current per-user copy approach described in the issue. Done requires an agreed record-aware caching behavior, but the issue names no files, tests, or concrete acceptance criteria.
