Research direction
Read pkg/oras/cache/cache.go at lines 114-119 and the surrounding cache logic first. Confirm the analyzer finding against the intended contentLayer selection, then check any existing tests for this path; done means the range-loop reference behavior is classified and any resulting change is covered by the relevant test.
