Description

`cache.readQuery()` should be optimistic by default, instead of requiring an `optimistic: true` param to be passed in to enable optimistic reads.

Research direction

The request concerns the cache.readQuery entry point; start by tracing its implementation and existing handling of the optimistic parameter. Determine how a default optimistic read should behave, then verify that reads are optimistic without the parameter while explicit usage remains consistent. No files or tests are named in the issue.
