default-dispatch-options was a `def`, meaning its body—including `fs/xdg-cache-home` and `System/getenv`—was evaluated at class initialization time. With GraalVM's InitClojureClasses feature, this happens during the native-image build, capturing the builder's home directory (e.g. /home/runner on GitHub Actions) into the binary. At runtime every user hits AccessDeniedException trying to create the baked-in path. Changing from `def` to `defn-` defers evaluation to each `dispatch` call, so the cache directory is resolved using the actual user's environment.
