Research direction
Start by reviewing the cache implementation and how configuration is currently handled; the issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Define the pruning behavior, including the user-specified threshold, environment-variable control, and default of 5 GB. Done means the cache stays below the configured limit and the behavior is covered by tests.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
I don't think we need it in this version, but I think the next version should have some way to automatically prune the cache to keep it below a user specified threshold with default (maybe controlled via an environment variable, and set to say 5 Gb by default?)
