At https://github.com/n8n-io/n8n/pull/8213 we introduced Redis hashes
for workflow ownership and manual webhooks...
- to remove clutter from multiple related keys at the top level,
- to improve performance by preventing serializing-deserializing, and
- to guarantee atomicity during concurrent updates in multi-main setup.
Workflow activation errors can also benefit from this. Added test
coverage as well.
To test manually, create a workflow with a trigger with an invalid
credential, edit the workflow's `active` column to `true`, and restart.
The activation error should show as a red triangle on canvas and in the
workflow list.
Story: https://linear.app/n8n/issue/PAY-1188
- Implement Redis hashes on the caching service, based on Micha's work
in #7747, adapted from `node-cache-manager-ioredis-yet`. Optimize
workflow ownership lookups and manual webhook lookups with Redis hashes.
- Simplify the caching service by removing all currently unused methods
and options: `enable`, `disable`, `getCache`, `keys`, `keyValues`,
`refreshFunctionEach`, `refreshFunctionMany`, `refreshTtl`, etc.
- Remove the flag `N8N_CACHE_ENABLED`. Currently some features on
`master` are broken with caching disabled, and test webhooks now rely
entirely on caching, for multi-main setup support. We originally
introduced this flag to protect against excessive memory usage, but
total cache usage is low enough that we decided to drop this setting.
Apparently this flag was also never documented.
- Overall caching service refactor: use generics, reduce branching, add
discriminants for cache kinds for better type safety, type caching
events, improve readability, remove outdated docs, etc. Also refactor
and expand caching service tests.

also refactored the code to
1. stop passing around `scope === 'global'`, since this code can be used
only for changing globalRole.
2. leak less details when input validation fails.
## Review / Merge checklist
- [x] PR title and summary are descriptive
- [x] Tests included
- Move webhook, poller and trigger activation logs closer to activation
event
- Enrich response of `/debug/multi-main-setup`
- Ensure workflow updates broadcast activation state changes only if
state changed
- Fix bug on workflow activation after leadership change
- Ensure debug controller is not available in production
