## Description
Extracts proxy semantic response-cache key normalization and hashing
into a pure `semantic_cache_key_policy` module. `SemanticCache` keeps
ownership of storage, locking, TTL, and LRU behavior while the
deterministic cache-key formula is directly tested as a standalone
policy.
Closes #
## Type of Change
- [ ] Bug fix (non-breaking change that fixes an issue)
- [ ] New feature (non-breaking change that adds functionality)
- [ ] Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing
functionality to change)
- [ ] Documentation update
- [ ] Performance improvement
- [x] Code refactoring (no functional changes)
## Changes Made
- Added `headroom.proxy.semantic_cache_key_policy` with recursive
`cache_control` stripping and semantic cache key hashing.
- Updated `SemanticCache._compute_key` to delegate to the pure key
policy while preserving its existing private wrapper contract.
- Added direct policy tests for recursive annotation stripping, key
stability, response-shaping distinctions, breakpoint movement, and
wrapper parity.
- Included the current LiteLLM callback signature compatibility shim
required for repo-wide mypy on main-based slices.
## Testing
- [x] Unit tests pass (`pytest`)
- [x] Linting passes (`ruff check .`)
- [x] Type checking passes (`mypy headroom`)
- [x] New tests added for new functionality
- [ ] Manual testing performed
### Test Output
```text
python -m pytest tests/test_semantic_cache_key_policy.py tests/test_proxy_semantic_cache_key.py tests/test_litellm_callback.py -q
39 passed in 6.34s
python -m ruff check .
All checks passed!
python -m ruff format --check .

python -m mypy headroom --ignore-missing-imports
Success: no issues found in 409 source files
gitleaks protect --staged --no-banner --redact
no leaks found
```
## Real Behavior Proof
- Environment: Windows, Python 3.13.13, clean worktree based on
`headroomlabs/main`.
- Exact command / steps: targeted pytest, ruff, format check, repo-wide
mypy, staged gitleaks scan.
- Observed result: semantic cache key policy/cache/callback tests pass;
static checks pass; no staged secrets detected.
- Not tested: live proxy cache traffic; this slice preserves the
existing cache wrapper and only moves pure key policy.
