Description

*Example:*

```
export default function Page() {
return (<> {/* 'use cache', baked into the static shell */}
}>);
}
```

A request serves the shell, including the cached header, from the [Resume Data Cache]() before any of our code runs. The handler instrumentation never fires. The trace shows `LiveStock` and nothing about the cached half of the page.

*Solves:* "was my cached content used, and how old was it?" for shell-served entries.

*Fix idea:* from code in the dynamic hole (the server-component wrapper), read the request work-unit store's `resumeDataCache`, enumerate its entries, and emit synthetic `cache.get` spans with key digest and item age. Research verified that enumeration works and read interception does not. Pages without a dynamic hole stay invisible. Document that limit instead of fighting it.

Research direction

Start in the server-component wrapper and trace how the request work-unit store exposes its resumeDataCache; confirm the cache entries can be enumerated without relying on read interception. Emit synthetic cache.get spans containing each key digest and item age, and document that pages without a dynamic hole remain invisible.
