What did you do?

1. Built the current master (ec5474e46b1e482b25ca9f24e124da8363c5c1f5) with Go 1.19.
2. Ran pkgsite -list=false inside a local module.
3. Edited a file.

What did you expect to see?

The documentation changes reflected.

What did you see instead?

They were not.

---

It seems this behavior is because module information is cached but never updated. It seems it could be updated by appending @master or @main, but this runs into #54478. Even if that were to work, I'm using a different dev branch (not master or main), which is #41312.

When run locally in a module, at least, x/pkgsite should update module information regularly, similar to gddo. (Which makes this related to #50229, but I see them as separate issues.)

@gopherbot, please add label pkgsite and remove label documentation

Related to #40371.
