Hotload

When you are iterating on library code and need to test your changes without waiting for a full extension reload, Hotload is the fastest path. It clears all pyvoid.* modules from sys.modules, forcing fresh imports on the next tool execution. This is much faster than Reload for changes that only affect library code under lib/pyvoid/.

When to use:

• After editing any .py file under Pyvoid.extension/lib/pyvoid/
• Not needed for pushbutton script.py changes (those auto-reload on each run)
• Not needed for .xaml changes (those are re-read on each run)

Shift+Click and Settings

Shift+Click on Hotload opens the Settings Hub to the Hotload page. Previously, Shift+Click showed a depth picker to choose how aggressively to clear modules (shallow, deep, or nuclear); that picker is gone. The verification_depth default now lives under Settings Hub -> Advanced -> Hotload so repeated hot reloads use the setting you configured once.
