- Questions kept coming up about where `use cache` results actually live, and how static shells, App Shells, and ISR relate - the answers were spread across several pages, but not tied together on the getting-started guide - The runtime prefetching example also implied cookie data needs `allow-runtime`, when the App Shell already carries session data - `allow-runtime` is really about URL data. **Changes** (`docs/app/getting-started/caching`) - Reworked the Usage intro to lead with the cache lifetime concept and hand off to Prerendering - Added a **Where cached content is stored** section: server cache, remote handler, and browser, framed around a cached result being a serialized payload that travels to each. - > if I had time to make it shorter, I would... - We will most likely have a visual aid there and trim it down - Added a static shell ↔ App Shell explanation in Prerendering, and a short Incremental Static Regeneration pointer to the ISR guide - Corrected the runtime prefetching section to the URL-data model (`searchParams`/`params`) - replaced the cookie example with a `/search` one that actually needs `allow-runtime`. - `catchError` (stabilized). - Cross-linked `stale`/`revalidate`/`expire` to `cacheLife` - reviewed and fixed the code-block highlights.
