Implemented a module-level cache (`fetchPromise` and `cachedPayload`) in `BlogApp.tsx` to deduplicate identical network requests. In the windowed OS architecture, mounting/unmounting the window frequently resets local React state. This caching pattern prevents redundant fetches to `/api/blog.json` during these state wipes and allows for instant loading on subsequent window opens.

Also updated `.jules/bolt.md` with this architectural learning.
