Research direction
Start with edx_django_utils/cache/utils.py at lines 43-51, then trace the _RequestCache usages and how its state is accessed. Determine the async-friendly replacement and verify that existing request-cache behavior is preserved; the issue is complete when thread-local usage no longer prevents async compatibility.
