get_cached_response used 'now - cached_at > ttl_seconds', so an entry exactly at the TTL boundary was still served as fresh. This means --cache-ttl-seconds 0, the natural way to disable caching, still returned a cache hit within the same second. Changed the comparison to >= so an entry is considered expired once its age reaches the TTL.

Finding 32 (Low) —
bin/cli.py:656Problem
The freshness test is 'now - cached_at > ttl_seconds', so an entry exactly at the TTL boundary is still served; --cache-ttl-seconds 0, the natural way to disable caching, still returns a hit within the same second.
Fix
Finding #32 (ttl-boundary, low severity): get_cached_response() in bin/cli.py used
now - cached_at > ttl_secondsto decide whether a cache entry was still fresh, so an entry exactly at the TTL boundary was still served as a hit. Concretely,--cache-ttl-seconds 0— the natural way to disable caching entirely — still returned a cached response when queried within the same second it was written. Fixed by changing the comparison to>=, so an entry is treated as expired the instant its age reaches the TTL, matching the documented "TTL seconds" semantics. Minimal one-character diff, no other behavior touched.Verification
Reproduced against the unmodified code at
9b8c605, then re-checked after the change.Before
After
python bin/cli.py --helpexits 0 and the module still imports cleanly. Verification was performed offline against the pure functions — no runningmisp-modulesinstance is required.Branched from
9b8c605. This PR addresses only this finding; the other findings from the same review are in separate PRs, so they will need rebasing against each other as they merge.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
