+ * Lightweight in-memory TTL cache used by {@link SurrealdbService}.
+ *
+ * Warum existiert dieser Service?
+ * - Der SurrealDB-Service braucht ein kleines Cache-Overlay, um doppelte SELECT/QUERY-Requests
+ *   im öffentlichen Bereich zu reduzieren (Kategorie-/Detailseiten, Volltextsuche).
+ * - Für Admin-/Schreiboperationen wird der Cache entweder komplett invalidiert (Login, Mutationen)
+ *   oder bewusst umgangen (SurrealdbService prüft die aktuelle Route). Dadurch sehen Admins immer
+ *   Live-Daten.
+ * - Der Cache bleibt bewusst in einem eigenen Service, damit:
+ *   1. die Logik testbar und wiederverwendbar bleibt,
+ *   2. keine Angular-spezifischen Abhängigkeiten (Router, environment) in diesen Store wandern,
+ *   3. wir bei Bedarf eine andere Persistenzstrategie hinterlegen könnten, ohne den Surreal-Service
+ *      anzupassen.
+ *
+ * Architektur:
+ * - `store`: Map-Key → { value, expiresAt } für schnelle TTL-Lookups.
+ * - `inFlight`: Promise-Dedupe, damit parallele `getOrFetch`-Aufrufe dieselbe Anfrage teilen.
+ * - Keine Persistenz (IndexedDB/localStorage), damit Logout/Sitzungswechsel garantiert frische Daten
+ *   liefert und der Service SSR-/Node-Tests nicht blockiert.
