 # Changelog
 
+## 2026-05-07 23:05 CEST — fix(go): default CacheDir to `tmp/go` to avoid Python collision
+
+- `go/internal/config/config.go`: `CacheDir` default changed from `tmp` to `tmp/go`. Override via `CACHE_DIR` env var still works.
+- Why: both backends used `tmp/<key>_cache.json` with the same keys (`attendance_regular`, `attendance_juniors`, `payments_transactions`, `exceptions_dict`) but different shapes — Python caches post-processed view-model tuples, Go caches raw rows. Whichever wrote last poisoned the cache; running both in parallel produced `ValueError: too many values to unpack (expected 2, got 68)` on Python's `/adults` after the Go server populated `attendance_regular_cache.json` with raw CSV rows.
+- After upgrading: stop the Go server, hit `/flush-cache` on the Python side once (rewrites `tmp/*.json` with correct shapes), then restart `make web-go` — it will use `tmp/go/` going forward. Required for the M5.4 `make parity` workflow which assumes both backends run side-by-side.
+
 ## 2026-05-07 22:37 CEST — feat(py): M5.3 — Python /api/* shadow endpoints
 
 - `app.py`: four new JSON routes (`/api/version`, `/api/adults`, `/api/juniors`, `/api/payments`) mirroring the Go `/api/*` handlers; `_unwrap_view_model_for_api()` helper expands pre-serialised JSON strings and renames `month_labels_json` → `month_labels`, `raw_payments_json` → `raw_payments` to match Go wire contract.
