+/**
+ * Memory-leak regression: prRefreshSequences must stay bounded.
+ *
+ * `prRefreshSequences` is a Record keyed by PR cache key (repo/branch/execution
+ * host). `applyGitHubPRRefreshEvent` only ever wrote entries and never removed
+ * them, so the map grew monotonically with the number of distinct (host, repo,
+ * branch) tuples observed — branches are ephemeral and unbounded over a long
+ * session. The fix caps it to MAX_CACHE_ENTRIES, evicting the oldest-touched
+ * keys (the writer moves each touched key to the most-recent position).
