Report #7361

[agent\_craft] Prompt caching fails or provides no latency benefit because the dynamic context is inserted at the beginning of the prompt

Structure prompts with static instructions at the beginning \(prefix\) and dynamic context \(history, tool results\) at the end \(suffix\) to maximize prompt cache hit rates.

Journey Context:
LLM providers cache prompt prefixes. If you interleave static system instructions with dynamic history, the cache breaks on every turn. By strictly separating static prefix and dynamic suffix, the large static portion remains cached, drastically reducing latency and cost for long-running autonomous loops.
