Step Caching

Step caching remembers the outcome of expensive deterministic steps across runs. If the inputs are unchanged, the cached result is reused instead of re-executing the step.

What gets cached

Locator resolutions for natural-language elements that did not move.
AI extract results on pages with an unchanged DOM hash.
Seed data loaded from fixtures.

Busting the cache

The cache keys include the test file hash. Edit the step and the key changes, so you rarely need to invalidate by hand. When you do, delete ./.assrt/cache.
