Research direction

The issue names only the incremental cache-reading code and provides no file or test path. Start by locating that reader and examining how unreadable files and schema-invalid data currently fail. Done means both error conditions are handled gracefully instead of crashing.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

priority-2-low topic-incremental
