## Summary Prior to this change, `uv cache clean <package>` treated every resolved cache reference as an archive entry. On Unix, an unexpected symlink in a wheel or source-distribution cache bucket could therefore cause package-specific cleanup to remove a directory outside the cache after deleting the symlink. This PR restricts post-cleanup archive garbage collection to canonical targets beneath `archive-v0`. It preserves normal archive cleanup and adds integration coverage that confirms an in-cache archive is removed while an external symlink target is preserved. Follow-up to #19543.

Summary
rm_rfduringuv cache pruneCloses #19542.
Root cause
uv cache prunewas resolving cache entries withcanonicalize()before deleting them. When a symlink was present in a cache bucket, prune would delete the resolved target instead of the cache entry itself.Test plan
