When --database-url is set, Frankie caches pull request metadata in the
SQLite database and reuses it across sessions. Cached metadata is treated as
fresh until the configured TTL expires (default: 24 hours). Once expired,
Frankie revalidates the cache using conditional requests based on ETag and
Last-Modified headers when GitHub provides them.
To enable caching:
- Run migrations once:
frankie --migrate-db --database-url frankie.sqlite
- Use the same database path when loading a pull request:
frankie --pr-url https://github.com/owner/repo/pull/123 --database-url frankie.sqlite
To change the TTL, set --pr-metadata-cache-ttl-seconds (or
FRANKIE_PR_METADATA_CACHE_TTL_SECONDS).
