Cache

Fetched tool manifests are cached locally at ~/Library/Caches/lift/tools/ (macOS) or ~/.cache/lift/tools/ (Linux). Cache files are stored as <name>@<version>.yaml and are version-aware -- a new tool version automatically bypasses stale cache entries.

Use lift catalog update to manually clear the cache if needed.
