perf: add cache for commandExists to fix CI timeout

- Add commandExistsCache Map to avoid repeated execSync calls
- Cache command existence check results to improve test performance
- Fix CI test timeout issue (was timing out after 7m)

The commandExists() function was being called frequently during tests,
causing slow test execution due to repeated system command calls.
By caching the results, we significantly improve performance in test
environments while maintaining the same functionality.
