…ation (LAB-4457) The intent decorator resolved the module-level default at decoration (import) time only. In the normal app layout — business modules imported at the top, set_default_backend() in main() — the default was captured as None and the wrapper silently fell through to environment auto-detection. A cache pointed at the wrong store returns plausible wrong data, with no error. The wrapper now routes all five lazy get_backend() sites through one helper that consults get_default_backend() before DefaultBackendProvider, at first call. The decoration-time lookup in intent.py stays so configure-first apps keep their decoration-time interop guard unchanged. Docs: the resolution-order section listed _resolve_backend()'s dead three-tier list; replaced with DefaultBackendProvider's five selectors and made the set_default_backend() example executable.

…hten _resolve_lazy_backend() return type
Two review findings addressed, one rejected with evidence (LAB-4457):
- docs/backends/README.md: reworded the bolded headline so it no longer
overclaims "call order doesn't matter" — import order is what's free;
set_default_backend() must still run before a decorated function's
first call. Body paragraph and stale_ttl/@cache.io exception untouched.
- src/cachekit/decorators/wrapper.py: annotated _resolve_lazy_backend()
-> BaseBackend (the existing backends.base Protocol) instead of Any,
imported under TYPE_CHECKING alongside SerializerProtocol. No runtime
behavior change (from __future__ import annotations already stringifies
it, and nothing calls get_type_hints() on this function). Tightening the
annotation surfaced 3 basedpyright errors at the optional-capability call
sites (get_ttl/refresh_ttl/acquire_lock, gated behind hasattr() since not
every backend implements them) that were previously masked by Any: the
TTL pair now narrows via cast("TTLInspectableBackend", _backend) and the
lock site now uses getattr(_backend, "acquire_lock", None), mirroring the
identical pattern already used for the same lookup in
_l2_swr_revalidate_async a few hundred lines up.
- tests/integration/test_file_backend_decorator_integration.py: rejected
Kody's freezegun.freeze_time() request. freezegun is not a project
dependency (absent from pyproject.toml and uv.lock), and
test_set_default_backend_after_decoration calls compute(2) once,
milliseconds after decoration, asserting only which backend directory
was written to — it never checks expiry and never approaches the 300s
TTL boundary, so there's no wall-clock sensitivity to freeze.

…ctually is (LAB-4457) Kody flagged the `getattr(_backend, "acquire_lock", None)` introduced in 3d95025 as type loss: the resulting callable is implicitly `Any`, so a mistyped argument to `acquire_lock` is invisible to the checker. Correct diagnosis. Its proposed remedy — define a `LockableBackend` protocol and `cast()` to it — does not compile, and the reason is the actual defect. `LockableBackend` already exists in backends/base. It declared `async def acquire_lock(...) -> AsyncIterator[bool]`, the shape of the *undecorated* generator, while every implementation (RedisBackendProvider's PerRequestRedisBackend, CachekitIOBackend) is `@asynccontextmanager`-wrapped and therefore returns `_AsyncGeneratorContextManager[bool]`. So no backend structurally satisfied the protocol, and narrowing to it made `async with` a type error: error: Object of type "CoroutineType[Any, Any, AsyncIterator[bool]]" cannot be used with "async with" because it does not correctly implement __aenter__ The protocol now declares the decorated shape, `def acquire_lock(...) -> AbstractAsyncContextManager[bool]`, which both implementations satisfy. The two wrapper call sites that invoke the lock — the thundering-herd guard on the async miss path and the SWR revalidation lease — narrow with `isinstance(_backend, LockableBackend)` instead of `getattr`. For a single-method runtime_checkable Protocol that is the same runtime test as `hasattr`, so the skip-when-unsupported behaviour on FileBackend / L1-only is unchanged; unlike `getattr` it also narrows for the checker. Red-verified: passing `timeout="oops"` at the lock site is now a basedpyright error; before this change it was silently accepted. The log-only `hasattr(_backend, "acquire_lock")` further down is left alone — it never invokes the callable, so it has nothing to lose. Docs: docs/features/distributed-locking.md carried the same undecorated signature in its protocol snippet; updated to match. basedpyright --level error: 0 errors. 3095 tests pass (non-slow, non-performance, excluding the credentialed SaaS e2e suite).
…nstance (LAB-4457) 4c67b88 swapped the three `acquire_lock` capability probes for `isinstance(_backend, LockableBackend)` and claimed it was "the same runtime test as hasattr". It is not, and the expert panel caught it. Since CPython 3.12, `_ProtocolMeta.__instancecheck__` resolves protocol members with `inspect.getattr_static`, which deliberately does not consult `__getattr__` (so a protocol check cannot execute user code). Measured against this repo's own delegating-proxy fixture: py3.11.14 hasattr=True isinstance=True py3.12.12 hasattr=True isinstance=False py3.13.12 hasattr=True isinstance=False `requires-python = ">=3.10"` and CI runs 3.10-3.14, so a backend that delegates `acquire_lock` through `__getattr__` — an instrumentation, tenant- routing or retry wrapper; `tests/backends/fixtures.py` builds one — kept the thundering-herd lock on 3.10/3.11 and silently lost it on 3.12+. The SWR revalidation lease degraded the same way, and the only diagnostic (the `hasattr` log guard left behind at the bottom of the miss path) was the *old* predicate, so it stayed silent for exactly the objects the new one rejected: stampede protection off, no log line. `cache_handler` already owns this shape — `supports_ttl_inspection`, `supports_buffer_read`, `supports_swr` are all capability TypeGuards, and `supports_swr`'s docstring already reasons about dynamic-attribute objects (it is class-level *on purpose*, to keep proxies off the freshness path). Locking wants the opposite: a false positive raises inside the `async with` and fails open with a warning, a false negative silently drops protection. So `supports_locking()` joins them, instance-level `hasattr`, and all three probes now call it — skew is impossible by construction, including the diagnostic. The base.py protocol shape fix from 4c67b88 stays: it is what lets the TypeGuard narrow, which is what keeps Kody's finding fixed (`timeout="oops"` is still a basedpyright error). Net deletion elsewhere: the TTL refresh site was hand-rolling `hasattr(get_ttl) and hasattr(refresh_ttl)` + `cast("TTLInspectableBackend")` — the same guard `supports_ttl_inspection()` has provided all along. Using it removes the last `cast` in the module. Test: `test_proxied_backend_still_takes_the_lock` drives a `__getattr__`-only proxy through the real decorator on a cache miss. Red-verified — with the `isinstance` probe restored it fails on 3.12 and passes on 3.11, which is precisely why the first round looked green locally. Docs, verified against the classes rather than copied forward: `RedisBackend` has no `acquire_lock` (`issubclass(RedisBackend, LockableBackend)` is False). Locking comes from `PerRequestRedisBackend`, what `RedisBackendProvider` and the env-resolved Redis path hand out; a `RedisBackend()` you construct and pass as `backend=` gets none. Four places claimed otherwise. The FAQ's "check with isinstance" advice is replaced with the `hasattr` the SDK itself uses, and says why. ruff + basedpyright clean. 3095 pass on 3.11, 3096 on 3.12 (non-slow, non-performance, excluding the credentialed SaaS e2e suite).

supports_locking() probed with hasattr, which is True for a backend carrying acquire_lock = None. The wrapper then called None(...) and the TypeError escaped: the lock handler degrades to lockless execution only for a BackendError and re-raises everything else, so a backend that merely declared the attribute broke every decorated call it was meant to protect. callable(getattr(...)) still consults __getattr__, so the delegating proxy case the hasattr probe existed to preserve keeps locking on 3.12+. This also matches supports_swr() in the same module, which already guards with callable(getattr(...)). The docstring claimed a false positive "fails open with a warning". It does not — corrected to describe the actual re-raise. CodeRabbit-Resolved: cache_handler.py:215:Require a callable lock

Conflicts: docs/backends/README.md and docs/features/zero-knowledge-encryption.md (both sides rewrote the same prose), .secrets.baseline (took main's; the detect-secrets hook passes on the merged tree). README: kept this branch's "set exactly one, no precedence" text over main's priority table (provider.py: tuple order affects nothing), and took main's resolution-order wording for set_default_backend(), which #313 now honours until first call. Also brings this branch's text in line with behaviour main shipped since it was written: @cache.io rejects backend= (None included) and accepts api_key= (#320), a late set_default_backend() is honoured until first call (#313), and single-tenant keys derive from tenant "default" (#321).

Changes
Documentation (
docs/backends/README.md)set_default_backend(). The previous claim that "call order does not matter for backend selection" is replaced with a more accurate statement: import order is irrelevant, but configuration must occur before the first invocation of a decorated function. This reflects the actual late-resolution behavior, where a decorator applied without an explicitbackend=binds the default either at decoration time (if already set) or at first call.Decorator wrapper (
src/cachekit/decorators/wrapper.py)_resolve_lazy_backend()now declares a concreteBaseBackendreturn type instead ofAny, making the lazy-resolution contract explicit to type checkers and API consumers.TTLInspectableBackendvia an explicit cast before callingget_ttl()/refresh_ttl(), replacing untyped attribute access.acquire_lockonce throughgetattrand checks the result, rather than performing ahasattrcheck followed by a separate attribute lookup.Impact
No behavioral change to the public decorator API. The typing refinements improve static analysis coverage over backend capability checks, and the documentation now states the correct constraint on when
set_default_backend()must be called.Summary
Consolidates the distributed-locking capability check in the cache decorator behind a single type guard and corrects the
LockableBackendprotocol signature to match how implementations are actually written.Changes
Public API
cachekit.cache_handler.supports_locking(backend) -> TypeGuard[LockableBackend]— new type guard that reports whether a backend provides distributed locking. It acceptsobjectrather thanBaseBackendbecause the decorator probes a lazily-resolved backend slot that may beNoneor already narrowed.cachekit.backends.base.LockableBackend.acquire_lock— signature changed fromasync def (...) -> AsyncIterator[bool]todef (...) -> AbstractAsyncContextManager[bool]. The protocol now declares the decorated shape, so implementations must apply@asynccontextmanager; callers useasync with.Decorator wrapper
getattr(_backend, "acquire_lock", None)/hasattr(...)probes on the SWR revalidation path, the stampede-protection path, and the no-lock fallback path withsupports_locking().hasattr(get_ttl)/hasattr(refresh_ttl)pair pluscast("TTLInspectableBackend", ...)on the TTL-refresh path with the existingsupports_ttl_inspection()guard, removing the unchecked cast.Behavioral rationale
The capability probe is deliberately
hasattr-based rather thanisinstance(backend, LockableBackend). Since CPython 3.12,runtime_checkableprotocol checks resolve members viainspect.getattr_static, which bypasses__getattr__. Anisinstancecheck would therefore reportFalsefor delegating backend proxies (instrumentation, tenant routing, retry wrappers), silently disabling stampede protection on 3.12+ while continuing to work on 3.10/3.11. A regression test exercises a__getattr__-delegating proxy and assertsacquire_lockis still invoked.Documentation
Corrects the set of lock-capable backends:
CachekitIOBackendandPerRequestRedisBackend(returned byRedisBackendProviderand env auto-detection) support locking; a directly constructedRedisBackendpassed asbackend=does not, alongsideFileBackendand L1-only caching. Troubleshooting guidance now recommendshasattr(backend, "acquire_lock")overisinstance.Other
.secrets.baselineregenerated for shifted line numbers.Summary
Tightens the lock-capability probe in
cachekit.cache_handler.supports_lockingso that backends exposing a non-callableacquire_lockattribute are no longer treated as lockable.Changes
src/cachekit/cache_handler.pysupports_locking(backend)now evaluatescallable(getattr(backend, "acquire_lock", None))instead ofhasattr(backend, "acquire_lock"). The public signature andTypeGuard[LockableBackend]return contract are unchanged.BackendError; aTypeErrorraised by invoking a non-callable attribute propagates to the caller and breaks the decorated function.getattrretains the__getattr__-consulting behaviour required for delegating backend proxies, which anisinstanceProtocol check would bypass on CPython 3.12+.Impact
A partially initialised or feature-flagged backend that declares
acquire_lock = Nonepreviously passed the capability check, causing every decorated call to fail withTypeError: 'NoneType' object is not callable. Such backends now take the lockless path and execute normally, forgoing stampede protection rather than raising.Tests
tests/unit/test_wrapper_lock_bare_key.pyadds_NonCallableLockBackendandTestNonCallableLockAttributeFallsBackToLockless, asserting that a decorated coroutine still returns its result, that no lock is acquired, and thatsupports_lockingreturnsFalsefor a non-callable attribute while remainingTruefor a genuinely lockable backend.Baseline line numbers in
.secrets.baselineupdated to match.Summary
Addresses late resolution of the default backend in the decorator layer so that
set_default_backend()takes effect even when invoked after a function has already been decorated with@cache(LAB-4457).Changes
The diff included in this review covers only test-side adjustments:
tests/unit/test_wrapper_lock_bare_key.py: the_DelegatingBackendProxytest helper now declares itswrappedconstructor parameter asLockableBackendinstead ofAny, with the corresponding import added fromcachekit.backends.base. This tightens type checking on the proxy used to exercise lock delegation via attribute forwarding.Public API
No public API signatures are modified by the changes shown. The behavioural contract of
set_default_backend()is affected in that backend resolution is deferred to call time rather than being bound at decoration time.Note
The decorator-side implementation referenced by the pull request title is not present in the provided patch set; the review scope here is limited to the test helper annotation change.
