How to use CGET: a lookup that matches meaning
CGET finds a cached answer by meaning, not exact bytes — and can return the confidence behind the hit so you decide whether to trust it.
CGET is the read. It embeds your query, finds semantic neighbours, and runs the five gates. A paraphrase of a stored question hits; an unsafe near-match is refused. Add WITHCONFIDENCE to get the score back and gate on it yourself.

> CGET "what's the refund timeline?" "Refunds take 5-7 business days." > CGET "refund window?" WITHCONFIDENCE 1) "Refunds take 5-7 business days." 2) "0.94" # confidence — gate your reuse on this > CGET "explain quantum entanglement" (nil) # genuine miss -> call your model
A (nil) is a clean miss — route it to your model and CSET the result, and the next paraphrase will hit.
