+@title{LRU Cache (Least Recently Used) for Racket}
+@author{You}
+
+@defmodule[lru-cache]{
+An in-memory LRU cache with optional item expiration. The cache keeps items in
+recency order and evicts the least recently used item when the maximum capacity
+is reached. Optionally, items can expire after a given number of seconds.
+}
+
+@section{Overview}
+
+This module provides:
+
+@itemlist[
+  @item{@racket[make-lru] to construct a cache with a @italic{max-count}, an
+        optional equality/compare function for items, and optional expiration (seconds).}
+  @item{Mutation operations: @racket[lru-add!], @racket[lru-clear],
+        @racket[set-lru-max-count!], @racket[set-lru-expire!].}
+  @item{Query operations: @racket[lru-has?], @racket[lru-count], @racket[lru->list],
+        @racket[lru-expires?], @racket[lru-expire], @racket[lru-max-count], @racket[lru?].}
+]
+
+The cache stores @emph{items} (values) and uses a comparison function to decide
+whether an item is already present. Each item is associated with a last-access
+timestamp that drives recency; on insert or hit, the item is bubbled to the front.
+
+@bold{Thread-safety:} The implementation uses a @racket[box] internally and is
+@emph{not} intrinsically thread-safe. Use external synchronization for concurrent access.
+
+@section{Data Types}
+
+@defstruct*[lru* ([cache box?]
+                  [compare procedure?]
+                  [max-count (and/c integer? (>/c 0))]
+                  [expire-in-seconds (or/c #f (and/c integer? (>/c 0)))])]{
+Internal representation of the LRU cache. Use @racket[lru?] to test for this type;
+do not rely on fields directly. Create instances with @racket[make-lru].
+}
+
+@defproc[(lru? [v any/c]) boolean?]{
+Predicate that returns @racket[#t] when @racket[v] is an LRU instance.
+}
+
+@section{Construction}
+
+@defproc[(make-lru
+          [max-count (and/c integer? (>/c 0))]
+          [#:cmp compare (-> any/c any/c boolean?) equal?]
+          [#:expire expire-in-seconds (or/c #f (and/c integer? (>/c 0))) #f])
+         lru?]{
+Create a new LRU cache.
+
+@itemlist[
+  @item{@racket[max-count] — Maximum number of items kept in the cache. When
+        the limit is exceeded, the least recently used item is evicted.}
+  @item{@racket[#:cmp compare] — Binary comparison function that returns
+        @racket[#t] when two items are considered equal (default: @racket[equal?]).}
+  @item{@racket[#:expire expire-in-seconds] — If a positive integer: items expire
+        automatically after that many seconds of inactivity. @racket[#f] disables
+        expiration (default).}
+]
+
+Returns A new empty LRU cache with the given parameters.
+}
+
+@section{Core Operations}
+
+@defproc[(lru-add! [l lru?] [item any/c]) lru?]{
+Insert @racket[item]. If it already exists (per @racket[compare]), it is
+considered a hit: moved to the front and its access time is refreshed.
+If capacity is reached, the least recently used item is removed.
+Returns @racket[l].
+}
+
+@defproc[(lru-has? [l lru?] [item any/c]) boolean?]{
+Returns @racket[#t] if @racket[item] is currently present (and not expired),
+otherwise @racket[#f]. This call also performs lazy cleanup of expired items.
+}
+
+@defproc[(lru-clear [l lru?]) lru?]{
+Clear all items from the cache. Returns @racket[l].
+}
+
+@defproc[(lru-count [l lru?]) (and/c integer? (>=/c 0))]{
+Return the number of @emph{non-expired} items currently in the cache.
+}
+
+@defproc[(lru->list [l lru?] [#:with-expire with-expire? boolean? #f]) list?]{
+Return the cache contents in recency order (most recent first).
+When @racket[with-expire?] is @racket[#f] (default), returns just the list of items.
+When @racket[with-expire?] is @racket[#t], returns @racket[(list item age-in-seconds)]
+pairs, where @racket[age-in-seconds] is the elapsed time since last access/insert.
+}
+
+@section{Parameters and Configuration}
+
+@defproc[(lru-max-count [l lru?]) (and/c integer? (>/c 0))]{
+Read the maximum capacity.
+}
+
+@defproc[(set-lru-max-count! [l lru?] [n (and/c integer? (>/c 0))]) lru?]{
+Set the maximum capacity. If the current size exceeds @racket[n], trimming
+will occur on subsequent mutations or cleanups, depending on usage. Returns @racket[l].
+}
+
+@defproc[(lru-expire [l lru?]) (or/c #f (and/c integer? (>/c 0)))]{
+Read the expiration period in seconds, or @racket[#f] if expiration is disabled.
+}
+
+@defproc[(set-lru-expire! [l lru?] [expire (or/c #f (and/c integer? (>/c 0)))]) lru?]{
+Set the expiration period (seconds) or disable it with @racket[#f]. Returns @racket[l].
+}
+
+@defproc[(lru-expires? [l lru?]) boolean?]{
+Return @racket[#t] when expiration is enabled (i.e., @racket[(lru-expire l)] is
+a positive integer), otherwise @racket[#f].

+
+@section{Behavior Details}
+
+@subsection{Recency and Hits}
+Any insertion or hit refreshes the access time and moves the item to the front.
+When capacity is reached, the least recently used item is evicted.
+
+@subsection{Expiration}
+If @racket[lru-expire] is a positive integer, items become expired when their
+last access is older than that threshold. Cleanup is performed lazily on calls
+such as @racket[lru-has?], @racket[lru-count], and @racket[lru->list].
+
+@subsection{Comparison Function}
+The @racket[#:cmp] function decides item equality (e.g., @racket[equal?],
+@racket[=] for numbers, or a custom predicate). For predictable behavior, it
+should be symmetric and transitive.
+
+@section{Errors and Contracts}
+Contracts enforce:
+@itemlist[
+  @item{@racket[max-count], @racket[lru-max-count], and @racket[set-lru-max-count!]
+        use positive integers.}
+  @item{@racket[#:expire] and @racket[set-lru-expire!] accept @racket[#f] or
+        positive integers.}
+  @item{@racket[#:cmp] is a two-argument function returning a @racket[boolean?].}
+]
+Invalid inputs raise contract violations with descriptive error messages.
+
+@section{Notes}
+@itemlist[
+  @item{The implementation is not thread-safe; use locks for concurrent access.}
+  @item{Expiration cleanup is lazy. If you need stricter guarantees, trigger
+        periodic queries (e.g., @racket[lru-count]) or add an explicit cleanup function.}
+]
