Caching System

The dashboard implements a two-tier caching system:

Pricing Cache

Property Value
File ct/dat/pricingcache.json
Duration 5 minutes (300 seconds)
Contents API pricing rates, timestamp

Transaction Cache

Property Value
Directory ct/dat/transactioncache/
File Pattern transactions{domainhash}{date}.json
Duration 1 hour (3600 seconds)
Contents Complete transaction history
Tip: Cache files are domain-specific using MD5 hash, allowing multiple installations to share the same server without conflicts.

AI Provider Name Branding

The dashboard sanitizes AI provider names for consistent branding:

Original Replaced With
via xai, openai, anthropic, google via CTZ-AI
(grok-), (gpt-), (claude-), (gemini-), (o1-), (o3-) (ComusThumbz AI)
Standalone model names ComusThumbz AI

This ensures transaction descriptions show branded names instead of third-party AI provider names.
