Some checks failed
Aegis CI / lint-and-test (push) Has been cancelled
Root cause: Cloudflare CDN was caching empty/error API responses from /api/v1/metrics/* endpoints during the backend startup window (502 errors). Subsequent requests were served from Cloudflare edge cache, never reaching nginx or the backend, so the dashboard always showed empty metrics data. NoCacheAPIMiddleware adds Cache-Control: no-store + Pragma: no-cache to all /api/ responses so Cloudflare and browsers never cache them.
