Description

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
We need a consistent caching strategy in QRE as caching can take place in many different places:
- Resource estimation task (caching the results of `estimate` calls)
- Application models (caching the traces for application models, e.g., Q#, cirq)
- ISA Transforms (caching the ISAs from expensive ISA transforms, e.g., round-based factories)

**Describe the solution you'd like**
- Consistent parameter names and enablement of caching
- Configure the caching directory and caching state via some `init` call

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by mapping the caching sites it lists—resource estimation tasks, application models, and ISA transforms—and determine how their current parameters and initialization differ. Done means a documented, consistent caching configuration and enablement approach covering those areas.
