Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Pull-through code can't be tested end-to-end in pulpcore's CI because pulp_file doesn't support it.
While we do have unit tests for it, some regressions might not be caught on a production-like runner.

A recent example is https://github.com/pulp/pulpcore/issues/6429

Describe the solution you'd like
Implement pull-through caching in pulp_file.

Describe alternatives you've considered
We could not do it.

Research direction

Start by reading pulp_file's existing pull-through unit tests and the related pulpcore issue 6429 to understand the expected behavior. Trace how pulp_file integrates with pulpcore's production-like CI, and consider the work complete when pull-through caching is supported and exercised end-to-end there.
