If a cache is being used--likely should be a subfield on Meta

(Alternatively it's very easy for the board to tell you where the cached file is?)

Research direction

Start at the pin_meta entry point and inspect the Meta structure, then read board.fs.hash_name(path, True) to understand how cached paths are currently determined. Clarify the intended metadata shape and behavior when no cache is used; done means the API consistently exposes the cached file path without breaking existing metadata.
