`rails new` followed by installation and configuration fails to cache data?

I essentially ran the following:

rails new --database=sqlite3
bundle add litestack
# edit config/environments/development.rb
# replaced `:memory_store` with `config.cache_store = :litecache, {path: Litesupport.root(Rails.env).join("cache.sqlite3")}` (see below)

With the Rails server NOT running, I opened a console and ran the following two commands:

Rails.cache.write('foo', 'bar')
#=> true
Rails.cache.read('foo')
#=> nil

When I open the db/development/cache.sqlite3 file and query the data table, I can see the key added, but the value is always null.

# config/environments/development.rb
Rails.application.configure do
  # ...
  config.cache_store = :litecache, {path: Litesupport.root(Rails.env).join("cache.sqlite3")}
end

$ sqlite3 db/development/cache.sqlite3 'select * from data'
foo||1711335886|1711335886

From the Rails console, if I #instance_variable_get the Litecache instance, then I can set and get values correctly:

$ bin/rails c
cache = Rails.cache.instance_variable_get(:@cache)
#=>
#<Litecache:0x000000012b471a18

cache.set('bar', 'some value')
#=> true

cache.get('bar')
#=> "some value"

$ sqlite3 db/development/cache.sqlite3 'select * from data'
bar|some value|1713928160|1711336160

I'm certainly doing something wrong... what is my error?
