Research direction

The issue does not name a file, test, or entry point. Start by tracing how image assets are served and inspect their HTTP response headers, then compare the current behavior with the linked Cache-Control guidance. Done means image responses include appropriate max-age caching directives and the behavior is covered by verification or tests.
