Large disk caches can look memory-only/broken during async DiskFS attach.
Expose disk_tier_ready in /metrics, pending/ready logs for disk-only and
mixed modes, and X-SteamCache-Disk-Tier on /lancache-heartbeat. GetMetrics
skips blocking disk.Size() while attach is pending so /metrics stays usable.
Closes#33
Steam clients lean on Range requests. Hit/miss looked fine while downloads
still felt cold when a Range miss returned the full upstream body as 200.
Add range_cache / range_upstream metrics. HIT path already sliced 206 from
the cached full object; count range_cache there. On MISS, keep stripping
Range for the upstream fetch (full object still cached) but serve the
client's requested slice as 206 and count range_upstream.
Tests in steamcache/range_test.go cover Range HIT (local, no upstream),
Range MISS (206 + full object cached), and /metrics emission.
When upstream is empty the cache used the client Host as the fetch URL, so any LAN client with a spoofed Steam User-Agent could proxy to literal IPs or arbitrary names. Reject those hosts, stop following upstream redirects, and keep path-only cache keys so real Steam CDNs still share entries.
- Added metrics for bytes saved from cache to improve performance insights.
- Updated cache eviction strategies in MemoryFS and DiskFS to include metrics tracking for hits and evictions.
- Enhanced README.md with updated garbage collection algorithm descriptions and recommendations for cache usage.
- Introduced new madviseSequential functionality for improved memory access hints on Unix systems.
- Adjusted validation configuration in examples to better reflect realistic usage scenarios.
- Introduced coalescing logic in `coalescing.go` to handle concurrent identical upstream fetches, including a state machine and response buffering for improved performance.
- Implemented a new cache file format in `format.go`, supporting serialization and deserialization of HTTP responses, along with range request handling.
- Developed an HTTP handler in `handler.go` to manage requests, including special endpoint handling and metrics reporting.
- Added rate limiting functionality in `ratelimit.go` to control per-client and global request rates, enhancing security and performance.
- Created service management capabilities in `service.go` to define and manage cacheable services, including user-agent detection.
- Updated tests in `steamcache_test.go` to cover new functionalities, ensuring robustness and reliability across the codebase.
