There was a problem hiding this comment.

LGTM, thanks for the fix! Perhaps we should just remove this cache, and perhaps some others too... users will cache their artifact by themselves if they think there is a need.

In one of downstream library's tests, the twine decoding gave different results when the test is run isolated vs. in a test suite. It reproduced only with enough prior artifact decodes in the same process to populate the colliding offset.
Summary
twine.Decoder.cachesis declared as a class-level mutable dict and is neverre-initialized in
__init__, so everyDecoderinstance shares the same cacheobject. Because cached values are keyed by byte-offset within a single artifact's
buffer, offsets from one artifact collide with offsets from a previously-decoded
artifact, and the decoder returns stale decoded values that belong to a different
artifact.
Reproduction
Fix
init cache per Decoder instance (per artifact)
