💡 What: Introduced a MAX_L1_CACHE_SIZE of 1000 items and implemented an O(1) FIFO eviction policy using Map.prototype.keys().next().value to manage the L1 in-memory cache safely.
🎯 Why: Without a size limit, the in-memory Map could grow indefinitely when handling requests with dynamically generated, distinct cache keys. This risks memory exhaustion leading to degraded application performance due to excessive garbage collection, or potentially causing application crashes from Out-Of-Memory (OOM) errors (a form of Denial of Service vector).
📊 Impact: Prevents memory leaks on the L1 cache. The application's memory usage is now strictly bounded for in-memory caching overhead.
🔬 Measurement: Verify by examining test suite execution and confirming no memory-related regression. Long-running profiles on heavily trafficked endpoints with randomized cache keys will confirm bounded memory allocation.

Added a MAX_L1_CACHE_SIZE limit to the L1 in-memory cache to prevent memory exhaustion DoS when caching numerous distinct keys. Implemented a fast FIFO eviction policy using Map.prototype.keys().next().value.
