Expected behavior:
Mention should be updated simultaneously.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue in the browser by adding a mention and observing the sidebar before and after a refresh. Trace the frontend entry point responsible for the mentions sidebar and its update flow; done means a newly added mention appears immediately without a page refresh, with a regression test if the project provides one.
