binex clean cache

Clears cached node results from the local store.

Option Type Description
--older-than float Only clear entries older than this many days
--dry-run flag Report how much is stored without deleting
# See how much cache is stored
$ binex clean cache --dry-run
42 cache entries stored; would clear entries.

# Clear everything
$ binex clean cache
Cleared 42 cache entries.

# Clear only stale entries
$ binex clean cache --older-than 7
Cleared 9 cache entries older than 7.0 days.

Cache entries are pointers to the artifacts a run already produced, so clearing them frees the cache index without touching run history. A node whose cached artifact has been pruned simply re-executes on the next run.
