Research direction

Start by locating the Python Jupyter Magic entry point and how measurement options are exposed. Clarify the supported environments and the intended cache-flush behavior before implementation. Done means users can opt into flushing the filesystem cache before a measurement and obtain meaningful non-cached results.
