fix(cache): initialize L1 cache with Symbol to prevent false hits on undefined

[shenald-dev]

Fixes a subtle bug in the L1 cache for the heavyComputation function.
Previously, the lastIterations cache key was initialized to undefined. If the function was called with undefined on its very first invocation, it would result in a false cache hit (returning undefined instead of computing the value 0).
Changing the initial value to a unique Symbol('uninitialized') ensures that the first call will always correctly miss the cache and perform the computation. Included a unit test to verify this behavior and documented the learning in the .jules/bolt.md journal.

@shenald-dev this PR has merge conflicts with master that I tried to fix but they're a bit complex.

To resolve manually:

git checkout fix-l1-cache-initialization-13041977223207422451
git fetch origin && git merge origin/master

Alternatively, you can try updating your branch with the latest from master if the conflicts are straightforward.
