Fix: Vulkan Pipeline Cache Binary Grows Unbounded

Player's cache binary is 500MB after a year; disk fills.

Prune by age

Discard entries older than 30 days. Newer entries kept.

Or size cap

Cache fixed size; LRU eviction.

Audit cache size

Per-player cache size; reports if over threshold.

“Caches grow unbounded by default. Bounds are policy.”

If your game accumulates per-player cache, the pruning policy is operational. Document.
