Description
I have been using Reactotron for some years and there is one issue that sometimes freaks me out which is multiple connections for the same device/emulator. Each reloads creates a new connection and we must access the new connection every time.
Take a look at screenshot below:

Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported behavior in Reactotron with a React Native device or emulator, then trace how reloads create and identify connections. The payload names no source files, tests, or entry points, so those must be located before work can be scoped. Done means repeated reloads no longer leave multiple active connections for the same device.
