Research direction
Reproduce the failure by opening the preview, right-clicking it, and selecting “Reload”; the issue provides no file or test entry point. Trace the preview renderer’s reload path and compare it with restarting the app. Done means reloading restores the preview without requiring a relaunch, with a regression test if the project’s test setup supports one.
