## Title

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

## Body

    What I found:
    Official uv caching documentation states that uv cache clean clears the cache entirely.
    Official uv caching documentation states that uv cache clean <package-name> clears cache entries for that specific package, with uv cache clean ruff given as an example.
    
    Evidence:
    https://docs.astral.sh/uv/concepts/cache/ · https://docs.astral.sh/uv/reference/storage/
    
    Still unknown:
    Actual on-disk cache size and growth rate on the operator host remain unmeasured.
    
    Useful next check:
    Actual on-disk cache size and growth rate on the operator host remain unmeasured.
