I’m currently working on a C++ plugin. Hotreload doesn’t behave after I recompile the plugin code. Thus every time I recompile, I have to close the editor, delete the binaries for the plugin, then rebuild. This ensures my changes are passed, but the work flow is disruptive.

I second this. a force rebuild button would be great. hot reload ignores changes all the time.
