HostLoom.Caching.Testing

Composes a HostLoom.Caching cache for a test without a container, and decorates a store so a test can inject failures or assert what the cache asked for.

var clock = new FakeTimeProvider();
var store = new InMemoryDistributedCacheStore(clock);
var serializer = new SystemTextJsonCacheValueSerializer(jsonOptions);

await using var cache = TestCache.Tiered(store, serializer, timeProvider: clock);

TestCache.InMemory() composes the in-process tier alone; TestCache.Tiered(store, serializer) composes both tiers. Two tiered caches over one InMemoryDistributedCacheStore behave like two service instances sharing a backend: they share payloads and invalidate each other. The kernel's constructors are public, so this adds nothing a test could not write itself; it removes the boilerplate and keeps every test on one composition, with jitter and the stampede pause off.

FaultingCacheStore wraps any store and fails the next n calls, or every call, with a chosen CacheFailureKind, which is how a test proves a consumer behaves when the distributed tier is down: the cache serves from the in-process tier and the factory, and nothing throws. RecordingCacheStore wraps any store and records every call, so a test asserts that a stampede took one lease, a bulk lookup made one batched read, or a null factory result wrote nothing.

Substituting ICache is the other option and a worse one. A substitute returns what the test told it to, so the test passes whether or not the consumer would have been served by a real cache. This package keeps the real composition and moves the fault to where it belongs, the store.

Time is a TimeProvider everywhere, so a test drives expiry and leases with a fake clock instead of waiting. This package ships no clock; Microsoft.Extensions.TimeProvider.Testing provides FakeTimeProvider, and any TimeProvider works.
