Description
Mix between feature request and a bug report. The video here explains it better than a lengthy report:

Basically, modifying a value in memory should invalidate all cached states that have been stored ahead, just like changing an input would. This ensures the modification is properly stored if a re-record is made thereafter.

Research direction
