Poem

A doc once said "timeout" with grace,
But gcTime should take its place—
A rabbit rewrote with care,
Now clarity floats through the air! 🐰✨

30-30: Clear terminology clarification. ✓

Adding the explicit (gcTime) clarification improves documentation accuracy and consistency with how gcTime is referenced elsewhere in the guide (lines 17, 29). This helps readers immediately understand that "cache timeout" refers to the configurable gcTime property rather than assuming generic terminology.
