Research direction

Start with the workbench scenarios and the 'rerandomize' button entry point. Reproduce the issue, observing that changes appear only after a hard refresh, then trace the update path to identify the missing refresh behavior. Done means rerandomizing updates the visible scenario without requiring a hard refresh.
