Research direction

Start in the server-component wrapper and trace how the request work-unit store exposes its resumeDataCache; confirm the cache entries can be enumerated without relying on read interception. Emit synthetic cache.get spans containing each key digest and item age, and document that pages without a dynamic hole remain invisible.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

javascript

Example:

export default function Page() {
  return (<><CachedHeader />  {/* 'use cache', baked into the static shell */}
    <Suspense fallback={<Sk/>}><LiveStock /></Suspense></>);
}

A request serves the shell, including the cached header, from the Resume Data Cache before any of our code runs. The handler instrumentation never fires. The trace shows LiveStock and nothing about the cached half of the page.

Solves: "was my cached content used, and how old was it?" for shell-served entries.

Fix idea: from code in the dynamic hole (the server-component wrapper), read the request work-unit store's resumeDataCache, enumerate its entries, and emit synthetic cache.get spans with key digest and item age. Research verified that enumeration works and read interception does not. Pages without a dynamic hole stay invisible. Document that limit instead of fighting it.
