fix: use deterministic hash for cache keys instead of pickle

Pickle serialization is NOT deterministic across Python sessions due
to hash randomization affecting frozenset iteration order. This causes
distributed caching to fail because different pods compute different
hashes for identical cache keys.

Fix: Use _canonicalize() + JSON serialization which ensures deterministic
ordering regardless of Python's hash randomization.

This is critical for cross-pod cache key consistency in Kubernetes
deployments.
