Description

### Description

Add the ability in PWAs to Pull/Swipe to refresh/reload the page. Current to force a refresh you have to force close the PWA.

What problem would this feature solve?
- Allow the user to refresh/reload the page without needing to force close the PWA.

Are there any potential downsides to this feature?
- maybe excessive reloads based on the user?

Are there any existing examples of this feature in other software?
- Native web browser apps.

Edit: something else that would nice as part of this, is on the refresh keeping the Currently selected column in the PWA so it doesn’t take you back to the default screen that it goes too when reopening.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the PWA entry point and the code that selects the current column, then determine how refresh gestures are handled; done means users can pull or swipe to reload without force-closing the PWA while retaining the selected column.
