This only changes cache sizes and not the actual caching function itself, right? If so I think we’re very close!
I'm glad to read this 😁 At the time of writing this patch does:

max_cost, this setsNumCountersto134217728. Since cost is now JWT length, the cache can hold only on the order of thousands-to-tens-of-thousands of tokens, so the frequency-tracking metadata becomes vastly oversized relative to the actual cache contents.🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

41-42:⚠️ Potential issue | 🔴 Critical | 🏗️ Heavy liftA single shared
tokenCachecan't honor per-rule cache settings safely.
MutatorIDTokenis shared across requests, butConfig()mutates one global cache from the effective rule config. That means a rule withcache.enabled=falsestill pays the cache allocation cost, and two rules with differentcache.max_costvalues will keep replacing the cache and dropping each other’s entries. Because this swap happens on the request path without synchronization, it also introduces a data race under concurrent traffic.Also applies to: 195-231

MutatorIDToken.tokenCache, and guard the map with a sync.RWMutex (or keep cache

Reject negative cache.max_cost values before cache construction. The schemas accept negative integers, so -1 reaches MutatorIDToken.Config. Ristretto returns a configuration error for negative MaxCost. Config returns that error, so validation fails and Mutate returns the error if called. This code does not panic or ignore the construction error.
Add "minimum": 0 to all three schemas. This preserves the intentional zero default and rejects negative values.

Synchronize the shared ID-token cache selection.
prepareMutators() creates one MutatorIDToken, and PipelineMutator() returns that shared instance. The request handler releases the registry lock after lookup, then calls Validate() and Mutate() on the instance. Both paths reach Config(), which replaces a.tokenCache when effective max_cost values differ. Rules with different costs can therefore repeatedly discard each other’s cached entries.
Concurrent requests can also race on a.tokenCache. Ristretto methods do not protect the enclosing pointer. Store caches in a mutex-protected map keyed by effective configuration, or use one fixed cache capacity. Add regression coverage for alternating costs and concurrent calls.
