Description

There's no realtime data updating *or* a refresh button. All the data on my screen is stale. I assume restarting the app will fix that, but that's not a very good solution.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the stale-data behavior in the desktop app at /mywork using app version 1.1.2 on Ubuntu. Trace how the screen loads its data and check whether an existing refresh or update entry point is available. Done means /mywork can obtain current data without restarting the app, either through realtime updates or a visible refresh action.
