Description
I have a number of projects that use the Tilesets API to delete and re-upload a very large tileset source on a regular basis (nightly). The new data shows up fine eventually, but clients still see the old data for hours. Is there the possibility of implementing a flag that forces the server to refresh caches of the existing tileset's new source?
An idea similar to this was discussed in 2016 in the mapbox-cli but it was tabled.

Research direction
The issue names the Tilesets API and the CLI but no repository file, command, or test. Start by reviewing the existing source deletion and upload command paths and the referenced mapbox-cli discussion; define the server-side cache-refresh contract before identifying tests and completion criteria.
