Summary
Cached child categories as full Category objects instead of IDs to avoid extra DB lookups.
Replaced List with HashSet in breadcrumb building for O(1) lookups.
Motivation
Previously, category tree expansion and breadcrumb building triggered unnecessary DB queries and slow List.Contains checks on deep hierarchies.
Changes
Updated GetChildCategoryIdsAsync:
Cache now stores Dictionary<int, List> instead of Dictionary<int, List>.
Updated GetCategoryBreadCrumbAsync:
Use HashSet for alreadyProcessedCategoryIds.
Impact
Fewer database queries after cache warm-up.
Faster breadcrumb generation with reduced CPU overhead.
No changes in external behavior or APIs.
Testing
Verified via SQL logs: fewer DB queries after repeated category/breadcrumb requests.
UI results remain unchanged.
Risk / Compatibility
Low. Cache key unchanged.
Only internal CategoryService usage updated.
