> If you put full-page responses in the same Redis/Valkey store as the rest of your app cache, check `responsecache.cache.tag` before anyone runs `php artisan responsecache:clear`.
>
> With no tag, `ResponseCacheRepository::clear()` calls `$this->cache->flush()`, which flushes the whole cache store: rate limiter hits, `Cache::lock()` locks, `withoutOverlapping` mutexes, everything. With a tag, it only flushes the tagged page entries.
>
> ```php
> // config/responsecache.php
> 'cache' => [
>     'store' => env('RESPONSE_CACHE_DRIVER'), // null = default store
>     'tag' => env('RESPONSE_CACHE_TAG', 'responsecache'),
> ],
> ```
>
> Two follow-ups on Redis:
>
> - Tags only work on stores that support them (Redis, Memcached), so leave the tag empty on `database`/`file`.
> - Redis tags keep a sorted set of member keys. Expired entries stay in that set until you prune it, so schedule `Schedule::command('cache:prune-stale-tags')->hourly();`.
>
> Sessions on a separate Redis connection are not affected by the flush, but everything else on the cache connection is.
