Description

Expected behavior: After updating a style object and saving the js file, it is expected styles will update in the browser via hot reloading in GatsbyJS.

Describe the bug: After updating a style object and saving the js file, the Gatsby website does not hot reload styles. On a hard page refresh (cmd + r) the new styles load as expected.

Research direction
Investigate the hot reload mechanism in JSS when used with Gatsby. Review the reproduction repository at https://github.com/codeithuman/gatsby jss hot reload and the codesandbox. Check the JSS webpack plugin configuration and how styles are injected. Potential areas include the JSS plugin's handling of module updates and whether the style injection is properly re triggered on change. Consult the JSS documentation and existing issues for similar problems.
