What
A helper was added that deletes key-value cache rows whose expiry has passed, warning rather than failing if the delete errors, and key names are now validated at 1 to 64 characters.
Details
The sweep runs as a single delete over rows with an expiry in the past; rows with no expiry are untouched.
No condition guards the call site, so the sweep runs whenever that path is reached.
Evidence
DELETE FROM kv WHERE expires_at IS NOT NULL AND expires_at <= now()
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
