Remove no-longer-functional cache invalidation

ctrueden · ctrueden · commit dfb5cf9ac286 · 2025-08-16T17:10:40.000-05:00
With the upgrade from Nexus v2 to v3, this trick no longer works.
I briefly investigated how to adjust the code to still do it, but
was not immediately successful at doing so. Claude.ai suggests:

    # Invalidate specific paths using the browse API
    # First, you'd need to identify the asset and use:
    curl --netrc -X DELETE \
      "$NEXUS_BASE_URL/service/rest/v1/assets/{assetId}"

But I do not know if this would actually work, and I do not
know how to obtain the assetId for a given resource. We can
figure it out later if needed. But first, let's proceed
without it for a while, to see what problems it creates.
