It's a very simple cache. We only cache the most recent epoch sync proof, in compressed format. The key of the cache is the EpochId. So whenever the EpochId changes, we recompute it.
Why don't we just store this on disk instead? It's unnecessary, and introduces more state to keep. Deriving the proof is not very expensive anyway (maybe a couple of seconds).
