" summary

Adds BYOE to ScalaCache by abstracting APIs over a type F and providing a cats‑effect–style Async/Sync typeclass. Implements concrete instances: Scala Future, a synchronous Caffeine backend built with delay, and a memcached backend using spy memcached callbacks; uses the Identity monad for plain sync results. Produces one API that returns F[Option[V]] so users pick Future/Task/IO or plain values, simplifies wiring with ReaderT/EitherT stacks and aids testing; deployed and working.
