Stale extension metadata cache in VScodium's Extensions view

The goal is to have the Extensions sidebar always display the most recent version numbers and update notices from the marketplace without manual refresh or restart.

Current behavior shows outdated metadata on builds that inherit VS Code caches, and it is unclear whether the cache is shared globally or per‑user, making reproducibility difficult.

What specific mechanism can VScodium employ to invalidate the cache automatically when a publisher pushes a new release, and does any existing API or command support this?
