Caching
Version lookups are cached locally to reduce API calls to package registries. The cache:
- Respects the
cacheTtlSeconds setting (default 5 minutes)
- Caches both successful lookups and "not found" results
- Can be cleared manually via
Version Check: Clear Cache command
- Is automatically cleared when using
Version Check: Refresh
