Research direction

Start by reviewing issue #54513 and comparing its proposed filecache split with the avatar-specific requirements. Investigate the current avatar and filecache storage paths, then determine whether separating avatars justifies the added complexity. Done means reaching and documenting a clear decision on whether to proceed, with the required scope identified.
