-// Keep a single parsed spine in memory to avoid repeated decompress+parse work
-// in the KO sync flow.
-//
-// Why this helps here:
-// - Sync result screen calls both mapping directions (remote->local for compare,
-//   local->KOReader for display).
-// - If the user chooses Upload, local->KOReader mapping is performed again.
-// - Without caching, the same chapter can be decompressed and reparsed multiple
-//   times during one activity session.
-//
-// Why the cache is exactly one entry:
-// - We only need to accelerate immediate repeat lookups for the current chapter.
-// - A single-entry cache bounds RAM use and avoids long-lived heap growth on
-//   ESP32-C3.
