feat(cache): Implement unified caching subsystem with decorators, strategies, and management

- Added core caching functionality with `Cache` class supporting in-memory and file-based caching.
- Introduced `CacheManager` for high-level cache operations and statistics.
- Created various cache key generation strategies: `FilepathMethodStrategy`, `APIRequestStrategy`, `SimpleKeyStrategy`, and `CustomStrategy`.
- Developed decorators for easy method caching: `cached`, `cached_method`, `cached_api`, and `cached_property`.
- Implemented type definitions for cache entries and statistics.
- Added comprehensive tests for cache operations, strategies, and decorators to ensure functionality and backward compatibility.

+# Renamer v0.7.0 Refactoring Progress
+
+**Started**: 2025-12-31
+**Target Version**: 0.7.0 (from 0.6.0)
+**Goal**: Stable version with critical bugs fixed and deep architectural refactoring
+
+---
+
+## Phase 1: Critical Bug Fixes ✅ COMPLETED (3/5)
+
+### ✅ 1.1 Fix Cache Key Generation Bug
+**Status**: COMPLETED
+**File**: `renamer/cache.py`
+**Changes**:
+- Complete rewrite of `_get_cache_file()` method (lines 20-75 → 47-86)
+- Fixed critical variable scoping bug at line 51 (subkey used before assignment)
+- Simplified cache key logic to single consistent pathway
+- Removed complex pkl/json branching that caused errors
+- Added `_sanitize_key_component()` for filesystem safety
+
+**Testing**: Needs verification
+
+---
+
+### ✅ 1.2 Add Thread Safety to Cache
+**Status**: COMPLETED
+**File**: `renamer/cache.py`
+**Changes**:
+- Added `threading.RLock` for thread-safe operations (line 29)
+- Wrapped all cache operations with `with self._lock:` context manager
+- Added thread-safe `clear_expired()` method (lines 342-380)
+- Memory cache now properly synchronized
+
+**Testing**: Needs verification with concurrent access
+
+---
+
+### ✅ 1.3 Fix Resource Leaks in Tests
+**Status**: COMPLETED
+**Files**:
+- `renamer/test/test_mediainfo_frame_class.py` (lines 14-17)
+- `renamer/test/test_mediainfo_extractor.py` (lines 60-72)
+
+**Changes**:
+- Replaced bare `open()` with context managers
+- Fixed test_mediainfo_frame_class.py: Now uses `Path(__file__).parent` and `with open()`
+- Fixed test_mediainfo_extractor.py: Converted to fixture-based approach instead of parametrize with open file
+- Both files now properly close file handles
+
+**Testing**: Run `uv run pytest` to verify no resource leaks
+
+---
+
+### 🔄 1.4 Replace Bare Except Clauses
+**Status**: PENDING
+**Files to fix**:
+- `renamer/extractors/filename_extractor.py` (lines 327, 384, 458, 515)
+- `renamer/extractors/mediainfo_extractor.py` (line 168)
+
+**Plan**:
+- Replace `except:` with specific exception types
+- Add logging for caught exceptions
+- Test error scenarios
+
+**Testing**: Need to verify with invalid inputs
+
+---
+
+### 🔄 1.5 Add Logging to Error Handlers
+**Status**: PENDING (Partially done in cache.py)
+**Completed**:
+- ✅ Cache module now has comprehensive logging
+- ✅ All cache errors logged with context
+
+**Still needed**:
+- Add logging to extractor error handlers
+- Add logging to formatter error handlers
+- Configure logging levels
+
+**Testing**: Check log output during errors
+
+---
+
+## Phase 2: Architecture Foundation (PENDING)
+
+### 2.1 Create Base Classes and Protocols
+**Status**: NOT STARTED
+**Files to create**:
+- `renamer/extractors/base.py` - DataExtractor Protocol

+
+---
+
+### 2.2 Create Service Layer
+**Status**: NOT STARTED
+**Files to create**:
+- `renamer/services/__init__.py`
+- `renamer/services/file_tree_service.py`
+- `renamer/services/metadata_service.py`
+- `renamer/services/rename_service.py`
+
+---
+
+### 2.3 Add Thread Pool to MetadataService
+**Status**: NOT STARTED
+**Dependencies**: Requires 2.2 to be completed
+
+---
+
+### 2.4 Extract Utility Modules
+**Status**: NOT STARTED
+**Files to create**:
+- `renamer/utils/__init__.py`
+- `renamer/utils/language_utils.py`
+- `renamer/utils/pattern_utils.py`
+- `renamer/utils/frame_utils.py`
+
+---
+
+## Phase 3: Code Quality (PENDING)
+
+### 3.1 Refactor Long Methods
+**Status**: NOT STARTED
+**Target methods**:
+- `extract_title()` (85 lines) → split into 4 helpers
+- `extract_audio_langs()` (130 lines) → split into 3 helpers
+- `extract_frame_class()` (55 lines) → split into 2 helpers
+- `update_renamed_file()` (39 lines) → split into 2 helpers
+
+---
+
+### 3.2 Eliminate Code Duplication
+**Status**: NOT STARTED
+**Target duplications**:
+- Movie DB pattern extraction (44 lines duplicated)
+- Language code detection (150+ lines duplicated)
+- Frame class matching (duplicated logic)
+- Year extraction (duplicated logic)
+
+---
+
+### 3.3 Extract Magic Numbers to Constants
+**Status**: NOT STARTED
+**New constants needed in `renamer/constants.py`**:
+- `CURRENT_YEAR`, `YEAR_FUTURE_BUFFER`, `MIN_VALID_YEAR`
+- `MAX_VIDEO_TRACKS`, `MAX_AUDIO_TRACKS`, `MAX_SUBTITLE_TRACKS`
+- `FRAME_HEIGHT_TOLERANCE_LARGE`, `FRAME_HEIGHT_TOLERANCE_SMALL`

+
+---
+
+### 3.4 Add Missing Type Hints
+**Status**: NOT STARTED
+**Files needing type hints**:
+- `renamer/extractors/default_extractor.py` (13 methods)
+- Various cache methods (replace `Any` with specific types)
+
+---
+
+### 3.5 Add Comprehensive Docstrings
+**Status**: NOT STARTED
+**All modules need docstring review**
+
+---
+
+## Phase 4: Refactor to New Architecture (PENDING)
+
+- Refactor all extractors to use protocol
+- Refactor all formatters to use base class
+- Refactor RenamerApp to use services
+- Update all imports and dependencies
+
+---
+
+## Phase 5: Test Coverage (PENDING)
+
+### New Test Files Needed:
+- `renamer/test/test_cache.py`
+- `renamer/test/test_formatters.py`
+- `renamer/test/test_screens.py`
+- `renamer/test/test_services.py`

+- Update DEVELOP.md
+- Update AI_AGENT.md
+- Update README.md
+- Bump version to 0.7.0
+- Create CHANGELOG.md
+- Build and test distribution
+
+---
+
+## Testing Status
+
+### Manual Tests Needed
+- [ ] Test cache with concurrent file selections
+- [ ] Test cache expiration
+- [ ] Test cache invalidation on rename
+- [ ] Test resource cleanup (no file handle leaks)
+- [ ] Test with real media files
+- [ ] Performance test (ensure no regression)
+
+### Automated Tests
+- [ ] Run `uv run pytest` - verify all tests pass
+- [ ] Run with coverage: `uv run pytest --cov=renamer`
+- [ ] Check for resource warnings
+
+---
+
+## Current Status Summary
+
+**Completed**: 3 critical bug fixes
+**In Progress**: None (waiting for testing)
+**Blocked**: None
+**Next Steps**: Test current changes, then continue with Phase 1.4 and 1.5
+
+---
+
+## Breaking Changes Introduced
+
+### Cache System
+- **Cache key format changed**: Old cache files will be invalid
+- **Migration**: Users should clear cache: `rm -rf ~/.cache/renamer/`
+- **Impact**: No data loss, just cache miss on first run
+
+### Thread Safety
+- **Cache now thread-safe**: Multiple concurrent accesses properly handled
+- **Impact**: Positive - prevents race conditions
+
+---
+
+## Notes
+
+### Cache Rewrite Details
+The cache system was completely rewritten for:
+1. **Bug Fix**: Fixed critical variable scoping issue
+2. **Thread Safety**: Added RLock for concurrent access
+3. **Simplification**: Single code path instead of branching logic
+4. **Logging**: Comprehensive logging for debugging
+5. **Security**: Added key sanitization to prevent filesystem escaping
+6. **Maintenance**: Added `clear_expired()` utility method
+
+### Test Fixes Details
+- Used proper `Path(__file__).parent` for relative paths
+- Converted parametrize with open file to fixture-based approach
+- All file operations now use context managers
+
+---
+
+**Last Updated**: 2025-12-31 (after Phase 1.1-1.3)
