The filesystem cache served a cached kubeconfig until "kswitch clean" removed it. Kubeconfigs of the cloud providers embed credentials that expire, so a long lived cache eventually hands out a kubeconfig that no longer authenticates and the user has to work out that the cache is at fault. The new optional ttl refetches a cached kubeconfig from the store once the cached file is older than the given duration. Leaving ttl unset keeps the previous behaviour.

The filesystem cache serves a cached kubeconfig until
kswitch cleanremoves it.Kubeconfigs from the cloud providers embed credentials that expire, so a
long-lived cache eventually hands out a kubeconfig that no longer authenticates,
and the failure gives no hint that the cache is at fault.
Once the cached file is older than
ttl, the kubeconfig is fetched from thestore again. Leaving
ttlunset keeps the current behaviour exactly.Verification
gofmt,go build,go vet,golangci-lint run(0 issues) andgo test -race -count=1 ./...are clean. Tests cover both the expiry and theunset-ttl path.
