Why This Fix Works in Production

Trigger: slowlog get - does not include fields added in Redis version 4
Mechanism: The slowlog parsing did not account for Redis Enterprise cases where the command is at index 4 instead of index 3
Why the fix works: Modifies the slowlog parsing to handle Redis Enterprise cases where the command is at index 4 instead of index 3. (first fixed release: 7.1.0).

Production impact:

If left unfixed, this can cause silent data inconsistencies that propagate (bad cache entries, incorrect downstream decisions).

Why This Breaks in Prod

Shows up under Python 3.5.1 in real deployments (not just unit tests).
The slowlog parsing did not account for Redis Enterprise cases where the command is at index 4 instead of index 3
Production symptom (often without a traceback): slowlog get - does not include fields added in Redis version 4
