Research note: The uv dependency cache is documented as disposable but useful, and uv cache clean or uv cache clean PACKAGE are documen

What I found: uv uses aggressive caching to avoid re-downloading and re-building dependencies that have already been fetched or built. uv cache clean clears the entire cache; uv cache clean PACKAGE (for example uv cache clean ruff) clears cache entries for one package. Evidence: https://docs.astral.sh/uv/concepts/cache/ · https://docs.astral.sh/uv/reference/storage/ Still unknown: Typical long-term cache growth rate on a given machine without periodic measurement. Useful next check: Typical long-term cache growth rate on a given machine without periodic measurement.
