Use safe dict .get lookups in GUI controllers to avoid KeyError when nested settings are missing. Introduce Microscope.cache_stage_positions and set_stage_position_cache_policy(image_mode) to enable caching of stage positions for z-stack/customized modes, reducing repeated config lookups and per-step overhead. Wire policy application in Model during initialization and update tests to call the policy setter and assert caching behavior. Also add AGENTS.md with project notes and developer workflows.
