Roadmap item: P2 - Backend - SERP cache TTL is hardcoded

The SERP API cache TTL is hardcoded to 24 hours in the codebase. This cannot be adjusted without a code change.

What to do

  • Add SERP_CACHE_TTL_HOURS to config.py with a default of 24
  • Update the cache logic in serp_api.py (or wherever the TTL is applied) to read from config
  • Document the variable in .env.example

Acceptance criteria

  • Setting SERP_CACHE_TTL_HOURS=1 causes cache entries to expire after 1 hour
  • Default (24 hours) is unchanged when the variable is absent
  • Unit test covers cache expiry with a custom TTL

Ref: ROADMAP.md P2 - Backend

Triage: Already Resolved

The SERP_CACHE_TTL_HOURS environment variable is read in SPARC/config.py (line 46): serp_cache_ttl_hours = int(os.getenv('SERP_CACHE_TTL_HOURS', '24')). It is documented in .env.example.

Closing as resolved.
