## Title

    [Maven] '<artifact> failed to transfer from <repo> during a previous attempt. This failure was cached in the local repository and resolution is not reattempted until the update interval of <id> has e…

## Body

    Cause (Documented platform behavior): Resolver caches transfer failures and missing artifacts in ~/.m2/repository (lastUpdated markers) and doesn't retry until the update interval passes or updates are forced.
    
    Fix status: documented_behavior
    
    Limitations:
    - Source-derived (Maven Central sources jars); not reproduced.
    
    Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):
    - https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/maven/resolver/maven-resolver-impl/1.9.24/maven-resolver-impl-1.9.24-sources.jar#org/eclipse/aether/internal/impl/DefaultUpdateCheckManager.java (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): Builds 'failed to transfer from ... during a previous attempt. This failure was cached in the local repository and resolution is not reattempted until the update interval of <id> has elapsed or updates are forced. Original error: ...' (and a not-found variant).
    
    Search phrasings: was cached in the local repository resolution is not reattempted until the update interval; maven lastUpdated cached failure mvn -U; maven failed to transfer during a previous attempt
    
    Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): public_source.
