Preflight Checklist
Problem Statement
When working with local HTML files in the Claude Code preview panel, changes made to the file on disk are not reflected in the panel after edits — even after the file is fully rewritten. The panel has no hard-refresh or cache-clear button, so the only way to see the updated content is to open the file in an external browser and do a manual Cmd+Shift+R there. This breaks the feedback loop when iterating on local file changes with Claude.
Proposed Solution
Add a hard-refresh button (or keyboard shortcut) to the preview panel that forces a full reload from disk, bypassing any cached version. Ideally this would trigger automatically when Claude writes to the file being previewed, or at minimum be accessible via a visible reload icon in the panel toolbar.
