+# Committed Cache Directory
+
+This directory contains cache files that are intentionally committed to source control for testing purposes.
+
+## Purpose
+
+This directory is used by the `committed_cache_spec.rb` test suite to verify that:
+1. Cache files can be stored in a non-git-ignored directory
+2. Once populated, no new files are created on subsequent runs
+3. The cache remains stable across different environments and PRs
+
+## Files
+
+The cache files in this directory are generated by the test suite and should not be manually modified.
+They represent a stable set of cache entries used for validation testing.
+
+## Do Not Ignore
+
+**Important:** This directory and its contents should NOT be added to `.gitignore`. 
+The cache files are intentionally version-controlled to ensure test stability.
