asdict keeps the enum and json.dumps writes it as a string because
StrEnum is a str subclass, but nothing turns it back on the way in, so
a cache hit returned a plain str where the annotation promised an enum.
Verified end to end rather than assumed from the subclass relation.
A value outside the domain now raises inside the existing guard and the
call falls back to source, which is the right direction for a poisoned
or stale cache entry. Entries written before this column existed still
replay: the guard checks for the key first, and a test pins that, since
turning it into an unconditional conversion would quietly turn every
pre-upgrade entry into a permanent miss.
