What is the purpose of this PR / why it is needed?

The file metadata fetching subsystem has been redesigned to address correctness, performance, and observability concerns that accumulated as the codebase grew.

The async verification pipeline has been designed to start the resolution of file metadata before the field accessor requires
it. The store also keeps a cache of LRU paths to avoid repetitive metadata resolutions.
