[frontier] Identical semantic tool calls re-executing wasting latency and cost

Implement semantic caching for tool results using embedding similarity on arguments, returning cached results for semantically equivalent queries with TTL-based invalidation

Journey Context:
Standard memoization fails because 'NYC' and 'New York' are lexically different but semantically identical. Production systems now embed tool arguments and cache results based on vector similarity thresholds, with TTL for volatility. This eliminates redundant API calls \(weather, search, DB queries\) but requires careful cache invalidation when underlying data changes. The alternative—exact match caching—misses 30-40% of cacheable calls in production logs.
