+# Embedded Asset Caching Strategy
+
+## Overview
+
+This document defines the caching strategy for Symphony's observability dashboard embedded assets to ensure consistent behavior and prevent stale cache issues.
+
+## Problem Statement
+
+Prior to this implementation, all embedded assets used aggressive 1-year caching (`max-age=31536000`) regardless of mutability. This caused issues where dashboard CSS changes were hidden behind stale browser caches because the CSS is served from a fixed URL (`/dashboard.css`) without content versioning.
+
+## Solution: Asset Mutability-Based Caching
+
+### Strategy Rules
+
+| Asset Type | Caching Strategy | Rationale |
+|------------|-----------------|-----------|
+| **Mutable Assets** | `public, max-age=300, must-revalidate` | Content can change; use conservative caching with frequent revalidation |
+| **Immutable Assets** | `public, max-age=31536000, immutable` | Content tied to specific versions; safe for aggressive caching |
+
+### Asset Classification
+
+#### Mutable Assets
+- `/dashboard.css` - Dashboard styles served from `priv/static/dashboard.css`
+
+#### Immutable Assets  
+- `/vendor/phoenix_html/phoenix_html.js` - Phoenix HTML JavaScript (tied to phoenix_html dep version)
+- `/vendor/phoenix/phoenix.js` - Phoenix framework JavaScript (tied to phoenix dep version)
+- `/vendor/phoenix_live_view/phoenix_live_view.js` - Phoenix LiveView JavaScript (tied to phoenix_live_view dep version)
+
+## Implementation
+
+### Code Location
+- **Controller Logic:** `lib/symphony_elixir_web/controllers/static_asset_controller.ex`
+- **Asset Management:** `lib/symphony_elixir_web/static_assets.ex`
+- **Tests:** `test/symphony_elixir_web/controllers/static_asset_controller_test.exs`
+
+### Cache Control Headers
+
+```elixir
+# Mutable assets (dashboard.css)
+"public, max-age=300, must-revalidate"
+
+# Immutable vendor assets  
+"public, max-age=31536000, immutable"
+
+# Default fallback for unknown assets
+"public, max-age=300, must-revalidate"
+```
+
+### Path-Based Detection
+
+```elixir
+defp cache_control_for_asset("/dashboard.css"), do: "public, max-age=300, must-revalidate"
+defp cache_control_for_asset("/vendor/" <> _), do: "public, max-age=31536000, immutable"  
+defp cache_control_for_asset(_), do: "public, max-age=300, must-revalidate"
+```
+
+## Benefits
+
+1. **Prevents Stale Dashboard CSS** - Conservative caching ensures dashboard changes are visible quickly
+2. **Optimizes Vendor Assets** - Aggressive caching reduces bandwidth for version-locked dependencies  
+3. **Consistent Strategy** - Clear rules based on asset mutability rather than ad-hoc decisions
+4. **Future-Proof** - New assets default to conservative caching until explicitly classified
+
+## Testing & Regression Coverage
+
+### Test Categories
+- **Basic Asset Delivery** - Verify all assets serve correctly with proper content types
+- **Caching Strategy Validation** - Ensure correct cache headers for mutable vs immutable assets
+- **Regression Tests** - Tagged tests to prevent future cache header regressions
+
+### Running Tests
+```bash
+# All static asset tests
+mix test test/symphony_elixir_web/controllers/static_asset_controller_test.exs
+
+# Cache header regression tests only  
+mix test --only cache_headers
+```
+
+## Cache Behavior Examples
+
+### Mutable Asset (Dashboard CSS)
+```http
+GET /dashboard.css
+Cache-Control: public, max-age=300, must-revalidate
+
+# Browser behavior:
+# - Caches for 5 minutes
+# - Must revalidate with server after 5 minutes
+# - Changes appear within 5 minutes maximum
+```
+
+### Immutable Asset (Vendor JS)
+```http
+GET /vendor/phoenix/phoenix.js  
+Cache-Control: public, max-age=31536000, immutable
+
+# Browser behavior:
+# - Caches for 1 year
+# - Never revalidates (marked immutable)
+# - Only refetches if URL changes (tied to dep version)
+```
+
+## Future Considerations
+
+### Adding New Assets
+When adding new embedded assets:
+
+1. **Determine mutability** - Does the content change independently of its URL?
+2. **Update classification** - Add to mutable or immutable category in controller
+3. **Add test coverage** - Include in regression test suite
+4. **Document decision** - Update this strategy doc if needed
+
+### Content Versioning Alternative
+For truly mutable assets that need aggressive caching, consider URL versioning:
+```
+/dashboard.css?v=<content-hash>  # Enables immutable caching for mutable content
+```
+
+## Migration Notes
+
+**Before:** All assets used `max-age=31536000` (1 year aggressive caching)
+**After:** Mutable assets use `max-age=300, must-revalidate` (5 minutes + revalidation)
+
+**Impact:** Dashboard CSS changes become visible within 5 minutes instead of potentially never (due to 1-year cache). Vendor assets retain optimal caching performance.
