Research direction

Start by inspecting tools.py and tracing the graphics rebuild logic that relies on os.path.getmtime(file). Check how imported variables and functions are handled, then verify that changes in tools.py trigger the appropriate graphics rebuild. The issue does not mention a test file or specific rebuild command.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Changes to variables/functions imported from tools.py in many cases can't use a os.path.getmtime(__file__) check.
