Description

While visualizing in SandDance, I might also refresh my CSV with new rows and/or columns.
Currently, I need to close SandDance and reopen it, to be able to work on the fresh data.
Since SandDance doesn't save its state, I have to remake all the visualizations.

It would be good to be able to refresh the dataset without closing SandDance.

NB: I use it in VSCode.

Research direction

Start by tracing the VSCode integration's dataset-loading path and the handling of CSV changes; the issue names no files or tests. Add a way to reload the dataset while SandDance remains open, then verify that refreshed rows and columns are available without reopening the visualization.
