Add robust PyPI dependency caching with task queue

Replace unbounded thread spawning with managed worker pool:
- New pypi_cache_tasks table tracks caching jobs
- Thread pool with 5 workers (configurable via ORCHARD_PYPI_CACHE_WORKERS)
- Automatic retries with exponential backoff (30s, 60s, then fail)
- Deduplication to prevent duplicate caching attempts

New API endpoints for visibility and control:
- GET /pypi/cache/status - queue health summary
- GET /pypi/cache/failed - list failed tasks with errors
- POST /pypi/cache/retry/{package} - retry single package
- POST /pypi/cache/retry-all - retry all failed packages

This fixes silent failures in background dependency caching where
packages would fail to cache without any tracking or retry mechanism.

 ## [Unreleased]
+### Added
+- Added transparent PyPI proxy implementing PEP 503 Simple API (#108)
+  - `GET /pypi/simple/` - package index (proxied from upstream)
+  - `GET /pypi/simple/{package}/` - version list with rewritten download links
+  - `GET /pypi/simple/{package}/{filename}` - download with automatic caching
+  - Allows `pip install --index-url https://orchard.../pypi/simple/ <package>`
+  - Artifacts cached on first access through configured upstream sources
+- Added `POST /api/v1/cache/resolve` endpoint to cache packages by coordinates instead of URL (#108)
+
+### Changed
+- Upstream sources table text is now centered under column headers (#108)
+- ENV badge now appears inline with source name instead of separate column (#108)
+- Test and Edit buttons now have more prominent button styling (#108)
+- Reduced footer padding for cleaner layout (#108)
+
 ### Fixed
 - Fixed purge_seed_data crash when deleting access permissions - was comparing UUID to VARCHAR column (#107)
 
 ### Changed
 - Upstream source connectivity test no longer follows redirects, fixing "Exceeded maximum allowed redirects" error with Artifactory proxies (#107)
-- Upstream sources table now has dedicated "Test" column with OK/Error status badges (#107)
 - Test runs automatically after saving a new or updated upstream source (#107)
-- Error states in upstream sources table are now clickable to show full error details in a modal (#107)
+- Test status now shows as colored dots (green=success, red=error) instead of text badges (#107)
+- Clicking red dot shows error details in a modal (#107)
 - Source name column no longer wraps text for better table layout (#107)
+- Renamed "Cache Management" page to "Upstream Sources" (#107)
+- Moved Delete button from table row to edit modal for cleaner table layout (#107)
 
 ### Removed
 - Removed `is_public` field from upstream sources - all sources are now treated as internal/private (#107)
@@ -22,6 +39,8 @@ and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0
 - Removed seeding of public registry URLs (npm-public, pypi-public, maven-central, docker-hub) (#107)
 - Removed "Public" badge and checkbox from upstream sources UI (#107)
 - Removed "Allow Public Internet" toggle from cache settings UI (#107)
+- Removed "Global Settings" section from cache management UI - auto-create system projects is always enabled (#107)
+- Removed unused CacheSettings frontend types and API functions (#107)

+# PyPI Cache Robustness Design
+
+**Date:** 2026-02-02
+**Status:** Approved
+**Branch:** fix/pypi-proxy-timeout
+
+## Problem
+
+The current PyPI proxy proactive caching has reliability issues:
+- Unbounded thread spawning for each dependency
+- Silent failures (logged but not tracked or retried)
+- No visibility into cache completeness
+- Deps-of-deps often missing due to untracked failures
+
+## Solution
+
+Database-backed task queue with managed worker pool, automatic retries, and visibility API.
+
+---
+
+## Data Model
+
+New table `pypi_cache_tasks`:
+
+```sql
+CREATE TABLE pypi_cache_tasks (
+    id UUID PRIMARY KEY DEFAULT gen_random_uuid(),
+
+    -- What to cache
+    package_name VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
+    version_constraint VARCHAR(255),
+
+    -- Origin tracking
+    parent_task_id UUID REFERENCES pypi_cache_tasks(id) ON DELETE SET NULL,
+    depth INTEGER NOT NULL DEFAULT 0,
+    triggered_by_artifact VARCHAR(64),
+
+    -- Status
+    status VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL DEFAULT 'pending',
+    attempts INTEGER NOT NULL DEFAULT 0,
+    max_attempts INTEGER NOT NULL DEFAULT 3,
+
+    -- Results
+    cached_artifact_id VARCHAR(64),
+    error_message TEXT,
+
+    -- Timing
+    created_at TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE DEFAULT NOW(),
+    started_at TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE,
+    completed_at TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE,
+    next_retry_at TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE
+);
+
+-- Indexes
+CREATE INDEX idx_pypi_cache_tasks_status_retry ON pypi_cache_tasks(status, next_retry_at);
+CREATE INDEX idx_pypi_cache_tasks_package_status ON pypi_cache_tasks(package_name, status);
+CREATE INDEX idx_pypi_cache_tasks_parent ON pypi_cache_tasks(parent_task_id);
+
+-- Constraints
+ALTER TABLE pypi_cache_tasks ADD CONSTRAINT check_task_status
+    CHECK (status IN ('pending', 'in_progress', 'completed', 'failed'));
+```
+
+---
+
+## Worker Architecture
+
+### Thread Pool (5 workers default)
+
+```python
+_cache_worker_pool: ThreadPoolExecutor = None
+_cache_worker_running: bool = False
+
+def init_cache_worker_pool(max_workers: int = 5):
+    global _cache_worker_pool, _cache_worker_running
+    _cache_worker_pool = ThreadPoolExecutor(max_workers=max_workers, thread_name_prefix="pypi-cache-")
+    _cache_worker_running = True
+    threading.Thread(target=_cache_dispatcher_loop, daemon=True).start()
+```
+
+### Dispatcher Loop
+
+- Polls DB every 2 seconds when idle
+- Fetches batch of 10 ready tasks
+- Marks tasks in_progress before submitting to pool
+- Orders by depth (shallow first) then FIFO
+
+### Task Processing
+
+1. Dedup check - skip if package already cached
+2. Dedup check - skip if pending/in_progress task exists for same package
+3. Depth check - fail if >= 10 levels deep
+4. Fetch package index page
+5. Download best matching file (prefer wheels)
+6. Store artifact, extract dependencies
+7. Queue child tasks for each dependency
+8. Mark completed or handle failure
+
+---
+
+## Retry Logic
+
+Exponential backoff with 3 attempts:
+
+| Attempt | Backoff |
+|---------|---------|
+| 1 fails | 30 seconds |
+| 2 fails | 60 seconds |
+| 3 fails | Permanent failure |
+
+```python
+backoff_seconds = 30 * (2 ** (attempts - 1))
+task.next_retry_at = datetime.utcnow() + timedelta(seconds=backoff_seconds)
+```
+
+---
+
+## API Endpoints
+
+| Endpoint | Method | Purpose |
+|----------|--------|---------|
+| `/pypi/cache/status` | GET | Queue health summary |
+| `/pypi/cache/failed` | GET | List failed tasks with errors |
+| `/pypi/cache/retry/{package}` | POST | Retry single failed package |
+| `/pypi/cache/retry-all` | POST | Retry all failed packages |
+
+### Response Examples
+
+**GET /pypi/cache/status**
+```json
+{
+    "pending": 12,
+    "in_progress": 3,
+    "completed": 847,
+    "failed": 5
+}
+```
+
+**GET /pypi/cache/failed**
+```json
+[
+    {
+        "package": "some-obscure-pkg",
+        "error": "Timeout connecting to upstream",
+        "attempts": 3,
+        "failed_at": "2026-02-02T10:30:00Z"
+    }
+]
+```
+
+---
+
+## Integration Points
+
+### Replace Thread Spawning (pypi_proxy.py)
+
+```python
+# OLD: _start_background_dependency_caching(base_url, unique_deps)
+
+# NEW:
+for dep_name, dep_version in unique_deps:
+    _enqueue_cache_task(
+        db,
+        package_name=dep_name,

+| File | Action |
+|------|--------|
+| `migrations/0XX_pypi_cache_tasks.sql` | Create - new table |
+| `backend/app/models.py` | Modify - add PyPICacheTask model |
+| `backend/app/pypi_cache_worker.py` | Create - worker pool + processing |
+| `backend/app/pypi_proxy.py` | Modify - replace threads, add API |
+| `backend/app/main.py` | Modify - init worker on startup |
+| `backend/app/config.py` | Modify - add config variables |

+## Deduplication Strategy
+
+### At Task Creation Time
+
+```python
+def _enqueue_cache_task(db, package_name, ...):
+    # Check for existing pending/in_progress task
+    existing_task = db.query(PyPICacheTask).filter(
+        PyPICacheTask.package_name == package_name,
+        PyPICacheTask.status.in_(["pending", "in_progress"])
+    ).first()
+    if existing_task:
+        return existing_task
+
+    # Check if already cached
+    if _find_cached_package(db, package_name):
+        return None
+
+    # Create new task
+    ...
+```
+
+### At Processing Time (safety check)
+
+```python
+def _process_cache_task(task_id):
+    # Double-check in case of race
+    if _find_cached_package(db, task.package_name):
+        _mark_task_completed(db, task, cached_artifact_id=existing.artifact_id)
+        return
+```

+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [ ] No unbounded thread creation
+- [ ] All dependency caching attempts tracked in database
+- [ ] Failed tasks automatically retry with backoff
+- [ ] API provides visibility into queue status
+- [ ] Manual retry capability for failed packages
+- [ ] Existing pip install workflow unchanged (transparent)
+- [ ] Tests cover worker, retry, and API functionality
