Frameworks need atomic conditional writes for replay protection, idempotency keys, and distributed leases, but expressing them as get() followed by put() leaves a race. This adds an optional runtime-checkable AsyncPutIfAbsentProtocol so backends only advertise the capability when they can guarantee it.

MemoryStore implements the operation under its collection lock, while RedisStore maps it to one SET NX command with the normal managed-entry serialization and TTL behavior. Other stores remain unchanged.

from key_value.aio.protocols import AsyncPutIfAbsentProtocol

if isinstance(store, AsyncPutIfAbsentProtocol):
    claimed = await store.put_if_absent(
        key="assertion-jti",
        value={"status": "consumed"},
        collection="replay-protection",
        ttl=300,
    )

Closes #368

Walkthrough

The change adds an optional AsyncPutIfAbsentProtocol and shared store implementation. MemoryStore and RedisStore provide atomic conditional writes with TTL support. Memory collections now synchronize cache operations. Tests cover insertion, existing values, expiration, invalid TTLs, and concurrent writes. Documentation covers runtime capability checks, idempotency usage, API details, and store support.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to e9e3d

This change adds atomic conditional writes with TTL support for MemoryStore and RedisStore. Redis coverage supports the atomic and TTL behavior, while an open MemoryStore lifecycle-test coverage gap remains a bounded merge-readiness risk.

In `@src/key_value/aio/stores/redis/store.py`:
- Around line 393-399: Update _put_managed_entry_if_absent() to preserve
fractional TTL precision by converting managed_entry.ttl to milliseconds and
using Redis SET with the px expiry option through _redis_set_if_absent. Keep the
Redis expiration aligned with expires_at, while retaining the existing no-expiry
behavior when ttl is None.

In `@tests/stores/base.py`:
- Around line 355-371: Update test_put_if_absent_is_atomic so
async_running_in_event_loop() is evaluated when the async test body runs rather
than during module import; move the skip check into the body or remove the
skipif decorator while preserving the existing atomicity assertions.

In `@tests/stores/memory/test_memory.py`:
- Around line 5-8: Add ContextManagerStoreTestMixin to the TestMemoryStore
inheritance list alongside PutIfAbsentStoreTestMixin and BaseStoreTests,
importing it from tests.stores.base so the suite covers context-manager and
explicit-close lifecycle behavior.

P3: put_many sets the Redis expiry from the nominal ttl_seconds (relative to pipeline execution), while put/put_if_absent use the live remaining time from managed_entry.ttl so the key expires exactly at its embedded expires_at. Because pipeline execution lags created_at, a put_many key can outlive its expires_at by the creation-to-execution overhead — most noticeable now that sub-second TTLs are preserved. Compute the TTL from the live remaining time (or use pxat from expires_at) so all three write paths expire keys at the same stored expires_at.
