Static fields in changed code are lost upon reload

I am not sure whether this is expected behaviour or not, but I could not find any reference in the documentation to static fields not being supported.
I am trying to reload a static class that has a static `Material` field that is assigned on startup via reflection.
The static class content looks like this:
```C#
private static Material material;

public static void DrawReticleCircle(in ReticleDrawArgs args)
{
var position = args.WorldPosition;
// ...
Graphics.DrawMesh(mesh, trs, material, 0);
}

static void OnScriptHotReloadNoInstance()
{
Debug.Log($"Post-reload, asset is {material} (null={material==null})");
}
```

After changing the contents of DrawReticleCircle, the script is reloaded but the value of `material` is lost.
The debug log reads: `Post-reload, asset is (null=True)`

I would expect for the value to be copied over, or for the new code to reference the field in the old assembly (if this is possible?).

Is this a known limitation or a bug? If it is a limitation, I think it is worth pointing out in the documentation.
Thanks.

Reproduisez le problème dans Unity avec une classe statique contenant un champ Material obtenu par réflexion, puis modifiez DrawReticleCircle et observez le journal OnScriptHotReloadNoInstance. Examinez la gestion du hot-reload pour les champs statiques et déterminez si la valeur perdue est attendue ou s’il s’agit d’un défaut. La tâche est considérée comme terminée lorsque le comportement est corrigé ou que sa limitation est clairement documentée.
