fix(cache): remove unused get_current_rate_limit function

[ojaswa072]

Summary

Removed dead get_current_rate_limit() function from cache.py.

Problem

get_current_rate_limit() was defined in cache.py but never imported or called anywhere in the codebase. The actually-used function is get_rate_limit_cache(), which is correctly imported in both handlers.py and github_api.py.

Having dead code creates confusion about which function to use for rate limit access.

Fix

Deleted the unused get_current_rate_limit() function (11 lines). get_rate_limit_cache() remains untouched.

Files Changed

• src/cache.py — removed 11 lines (dead function)

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Refactor
  • Simplified internal rate limit cache access patterns by consolidating helper functions.

Walkthrough

The PR removes a public helper function get_current_rate_limit() from the cache module. This function previously returned rate limit data (limit, remaining, reset) for frontend consumption. Control flow now relies exclusively on get_rate_limit_cache() for accessing rate limit information.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
Rate Limit Cache Helper Removal src/cache.py	Deleted the get_current_rate_limit() public function that returned rate limit dictionary. No changes to underlying get_rate_limit_cache() or set_rate_limit_data() functions.
