Research direction

Start by tracing the pkgx --update entry point and how it compares cached package versions or rebuild metadata; review the linked pantry issue for context. Done means --update retrieves packages rebuilt in place for fixes, without requiring the existing package to be deleted first.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

We use cache headers correctly so I think it is acceptable that we rebuild bottles in-place for bug fixes etc.

However the only way currently to get these updates is to delete the pkg first.

This will lead to a “delete everything and start again” approach to tea which we don’t want to foster.
