ETS Cache Invalidation on Module Reload in Elixir Mix Projects
ETS Cache Invalidation on Module Reload Goal: keep cached data consistent after a module is recompiled during development. Constraint: Elixir’s :ets tables (and libraries that wrap them) retain entries until explicitly deleted; Mix code reload does not trigger automatic flush. Uncertainty: whether a configuration option or library hook can be enabled to auto
