Description
I accidentally removed a lua-file from my Linux server. Unfortunately the folder in question has fallen outside of my backup routine and as such, I have no backup at all.
OpenResty is still running and functional with the cached LUA as we speak.
Does OpenResty cache the compiled lua file somewhere on the filesystem too, or can I make it dump it from memory? If not, I have a few hours of work ahead of me recreating the file :(

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by investigating how OpenResty handles compiled Lua after the source file is removed, then determine whether a filesystem cache or memory-dump mechanism exists. Done means establishing whether recovery is possible and, if not, defining the requested recovery capability clearly.
