ermison Prompt-caching – auto-injects Anthropic cache breakpoints (90% token savings)

No. Claude.ai is a consumer product — you have no access to the API layer underneath it. cache_control is an API-level feature only.

I dug into how Spotify generates Instagram story assets and mapped possible attack vectors in the legacy catalog pipeline. Curious if anyone’s seen similar behavior with older metadata ingestion paths.
