Thanks for the detailed code review! I've addressed all the suggestions in commit cbbf0f3:
✅ Test code isolation: Moved test cache statistics to #[cfg(test)] conditional compilation to prevent affecting production
✅ Unsafe code safety: Removed unsafe pointer casting and replaced with safe stub implementation
✅ Implementation clarity: Added comprehensive TODO comments documenting the nginx FFI integration requirements
The current implementation provides a solid foundation for cache statistics while clearly marking areas that need nginx FFI integration for production use. The code is now production-safe and maintains clear separation between test and runtime behavior.
This commit addresses cargo clippy warnings about missing Safety sections in unsafe function documentation: ## Safety Documentation Added - **vts_track_cache_status()**: Documents nginx request pointer validity requirements - **vts_log_phase_handler()**: Documents log phase pointer safety guarantees ## Clippy Compliance - Resolves clippy::missing-safety-doc warnings - Ensures all unsafe extern "C" functions have proper safety documentation - Maintains compliance with Rust safety documentation standards ## Code Quality Improvements - Explicit safety contracts for nginx FFI integration - Clear caller responsibility documentation - Improved maintainability for unsafe code sections All cargo clippy --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings checks now pass. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

Test-only code should not be embedded in production request handlers. This creates inconsistent behavior between test and production builds. Consider moving this test data setup to the test module or using dependency injection for testability.

This condition is redundant since both branches return None. The function can be simplified to just return None; with appropriate documentation explaining the stub implementation.

This commit fixes the failing test by correcting string slice bounds:
## Issue Fixed
- String slice panic: `begin <= end (1343 <= 748)` in test_cache_integration_demo
- Test was trying to slice from cache metrics start to server metrics start
- Cache metrics appear after server metrics in VTS output, causing invalid slice bounds
## Solution
- Simplified cache section extraction to slice from cache metrics to end of content
- Removed complex bounds checking that assumed incorrect metric ordering
- Eliminated unused variables to clean up warnings
## Test Results
- ✅ test_cache_integration_demo now passes
- ✅ All 49 library tests pass
- ✅ Cache statistics are correctly generated and validated in test output
## Verification
The test now correctly extracts and validates:
- `nginx_vts_cache_requests_total{zone="cache_test",status="hit"} 2`
- `nginx_vts_cache_requests_total{zone="cache_test",status="miss"} 1`
- `nginx_vts_cache_size_bytes{zone="cache_test",type="max"} 4194304`
- `nginx_vts_cache_size_bytes{zone="cache_test",type="used"} 512000`
- `nginx_vts_cache_hit_ratio{zone="cache_test"} 66.67`
