No open issues 🎉

Description
Correct the one-time usage guide to explain that
uvxcaches disposable environments for reuse rather than discarding them after each command. Replace the misleading re-download comparison with the distinction between a persistent tool environment and uv's disposable cache.Only two prose passages in
docs/install/one-time.mdchange; command examples are unchanged.Testing

Run commands from the checkout root..venv/bin/specify --help(Windows PowerShell:.\.venv\Scripts\specify.exe --help).venv/bin/python -m pytest tests -q(Windows PowerShell:.\.venv\Scripts\python.exe -m pytest tests -q); use affected test paths for focused checks andLC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8on macOSgit diff --checkpassed. CLI checks, pytest, and sample-project testing were not run because this change only corrects documentation prose.AI Disclosure
