Maintenance (inspect)

Both fetched and produced objects accumulate, so a tool with the inspect capability can enumerate the store, filter it, and delete an explicit selection. Each object exposes kind (data/cached), key/hash, location, referenced (rooted by a present .toml, or an orphan), format, size, created, and a best-effort last-access.

Maintenance is user-driven, never automatic — there is no garbage collector; deletion is always an explicit selection (dry-run/confirm by default). referenced and last-access are advisory filter inputs, not deletion authorities. last-access is read from the filesystem (stat) at inspect time and never written on read, so it is coarse and may be unknown (noatime/relatime); created is the always-available age signal.
