feat: cross-process cache invalidation via signal file for reuse_port multi-process

ahserver/hotreload.py

@@ -7,9 +7,15 @@ Watches file mtimes and triggers reload of cached resources:
 - Jinja2 template cache (auto_reload already handles this)
 
 Module caches (rbac/pricing/uapi/llmage) can be cleared via:
-- HTTP endpoint: GET /__hot_reload__
+- HTTP endpoint: GET /__hot_reload__ (triggers all workers via signal file)
 - Automatic when config.json changes
 
+Cross-process cache invalidation (reuse_port multi-process):
+- GET /__hot_reload__ writes to /tmp/.sage_cache_invalidate signal file
+- All workers detect signal file mtime change within their check interval
+- Each worker independently clears its own caches
+- No cross-process IPC or Redis needed
+
 Multi-process safe: each process independently checks mtimes via stat(),
 no cross-process coordination needed. When a file changes on disk,
 all processes detect it on their next check cycle.
